FREE RIDES, FREE SNACKS:

If you happen to be in Gurnee, Illinois during October you can go on rides at the Six Flags Great Amusement Park for free simply by eating a live, 3-inch-long Madagascar hissing cockroach. Unless, of course, you support PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who have called on the park to end the promotion because it is “gratuitously cruel” to cockroaches. I wonder if you could appease PETA by swallowing the bug whole and then vomiting it back up alive after your first spinning ride? (NBC5.com)
