Campus rooms aren't even big enough for a cochroach in the apple.
I think all your NYC cockroaches were kidnapped by Purdue graduate students. Don't believe me? Take a look at what's going on at our State Fair every year on Purdue Day...

Purdue Day will showcase Purdue Agriculture at the Indiana State Fair
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University agricultural events and displays will highlight Purdue Day Aug. 15 at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis.
Purdue Day will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The universitywide exhibits on Main Street will be displayed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
"Purdue Day is one of the most anticipated days of the Indiana State Fair," said Danica Kirkpatrick, events coordinator for Purdue Agriculture. "Alumni, friends and supporters come to experience the exhibits, activities and overall fun that we add to the fair."
Purdue Day, which is also Farmer's Day, will include several activities, demonstrations and events for all ages.
Activities on Purdue Day include:
* Educational programs on the Purdue Live Stage on Main Street from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
* Women in Agriculture awards presentation in the Our Land Pavilion at 9:30 a.m.
* Farmer's Day Parade on the infield track at 10 a.m. with Purdue Extension corn specialist Bob Nielsen as the grand marshal.
* Cricket-spitting contests under the grandstand from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
* Live food demonstrations in the 4-H Centennial Hall kitchen at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
* Cockroach racing at Roach Hill Downs in the Our Land Pavilion at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. *
* Purdue pep rally on the Purdue Live Stage on Main Street at 5 p.m.
I'm afraid to think of what the "live food demonstrations" are all about. Maybe those grad students are going to spear the cockroaches that don't win the race and roast them on an open fire??
