Load Testing with Cockroaches

Posted Mon, 10/26/2009 - 3:53pm by Scott Price

Ok, this comes under the heading of "weird stuff" and it is a stretch to call it load testing. My thinking is that this guy is running a test to see how many Madagascar hissing cockroaches fit into his mouth. I don't think it is stress testing because he isn't trying to exceed the capacity of his mouth. In stress testing, he would be trying to break the system; however, in this instance of the test, he is merely trying to break a record (11) previously set by a guy in Kentucky.

Guinness World Records hasn't yet officially confirmed the new record. Upon reflection, why would Guinness even track this as a legitimate record anyway? At least there are some standards for this record - a cockroach under 2.5 inches long do NOT count!

I grew up in Kentucky, and I know how crazy Kentuckians can be, but it looks like the Michigan State fans are a little crazier.
