Cockroaches

The thing about cockroaches isn't just that they're incredibly gross and/or disease-ridden, but that they insist on living right in our kitchen. Most people would rather see a freaking ticking time bomb in their cabinet than a nest of these bastards.

But the reason why roaches survive so well around your boxes of twinkies is that for centuries they were like our tiny, industrious little roommates. Cockroaches specifically adapted to share the nests of larger mammals, getting access to a continuous stream of food scraps, mold, mildew and even the delicious eggs of more dangerous insects such as fleas, bedbugs or lice. In return, us larger vertebrates are supposed to enjoy the free janitorial service and snack on the ones that don't run fast enough.

Wasps

"I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars."

-Charles Goddamn Darwin

A huge wasp flying into an office full of people has about the same effect as a crazed gunman. "Aaaahhh! Wasp! Here he comes! Ruuuunnn!! Find out what he wants, and give it to him! "

"You want my daughter? You can have my fucking daughter!"

When wasps aren't pumping us full of excruciating venom, they're condemning other insects to some of the slowest, most grotesque deaths in the natural world. A parasite that devours its host from the inside out is known scientifically as a parasitoid, and the vast majority of parasitoids in nature just happen to be wasps. They are even believed to have assimilated a fucking virus to make their sting even nastier.

Rats

The most widespread of all mammals that don't walk on two legs or drive cars (at least not yet), rodentia of the Rattus genus are most famous in Western culture as sewer-dwelling, corpse-nibbling cornucopias of contagion who gnaw their way into our homes and use our cereal boxes as toilets.

Mosquitoes

The 3,500 members of the family Culicidae are famous for prowling the night in search of fresh, warm blood, leaving obnoxiously itchy welts in their wake and contributing to the spread of diseases like dirty hypodermics with wings.

By accidentally transferring germs from one victim to the next, mosquitoes contribute to millions more deaths each year than every other animal in nature combined. Beginning their lives as wriggling, aquatic larvae, they breed exponentially in even the smallest and filthiest bodies of water, surviving off bacteria alone until ready to take wing. Could there possibly be a bright side to these bloodthirsty assholes?

E. Coli Bacteria

Let's face it, if somebody tells you your food is "covered in bacteria," you're going to throw that shit out. And if somebody told you your body was full of E. coli bacteria, you'd get to a doctor before the uncontrollable shitting starts.

Now it's true that countless bacteria are waiting at any moment to invade and conquer our own bodies. Diarrhea, leprosy, anthrax, salmonella, syphilis, gangrene, pneumonia and strep are just a fraction of the diseases caused when certain bacteria multiply within our vulnerable tissue, and we spend billions of dollars a year on a never-ending war to purge them from our bodies, our food and our countertops.

At the moment, my latest crave is a nice beach bag for bathing suit season. I “need‿ something roomy, cute and being name brand won’t hurt at all! Within my future beach bag I seek, a durable material that can withstand any type of weather conditions. I also want something I can use year round. As a student, converting a summer bag to a book bag in the fall, would be considered a big plus for me! With that said, I’m leaning towards an all-reliable and good ‘ole canvas bag. You can never go wrong with canvas, they seem to never go out of style and they seem to withstand great with time.

I ran into Emilio Pucci’s Coated Canvas Totes. Personally, I admire his infamous prints. Pucci’s bold patterns and fun hues are always pleasant. Pucci’s designs don’t scream tacky, instead, modern. Its simple silhouette makes this tote a great everyday bag, or better yet, a really hot beach bag. It’s open tote top is also essential for easy access.

You know, I really like the fact that designers are releasing nice canvas bags at a less retail price than their original pieces. Depending at what designer your looking at, their bags are more affordable and for the money well spent, you’re bound to receive durability and a great name brand.
