Yeccchh! A Michigan pet-store worker stuffed 16 live cockroaches into his mouth in hopes of breaking the world record.

Sean Murphy, of Preuss Pets in Lansing, said it was a “big surprise” he got so many of the 2½-inch Madagascar hissing cockroaches into his mouth.

Guinness still has to review video to see if Murphy broke the record of 11. Frankly, it’s a video we’d rather not see.

Dogs chase cars. Bears chase minivans.

A study in the Journal of Mammalogy found that minivans were disproportionately targeted by bears at Yosemite National Park.

About 29 percent of the 908 vehicles torn into by bears between 2001 and 2007 were minivans, despite accounting for just 7 percent of the cars at Yosemite.

The researchers theorized that minivans are more likely to carry children, who leave behind a trail of snacks.
