The Mythbusters plan on seeing if cockroaches really can survive massive doses of radiation. Have medium-sized TV network budget, will travel.
For a fun time, read the "Incidents" section of the "Criticality Accident" article on Wikipedia.

I always heard there were three things that'll survive a nukulur holocaust. They are:
1. Rats
2. Cockroaches
3. Keith Richards
Nah, Richards doesn't count. He's been dead since 1975. He'll be the one leading all those smelly not-quite-sleep walkers that drive the rest of us into a pub. But only if we walk slowly, with our arms in front of us. Otherwise they'll notice.
Sort of thing. :)
