"Maybe, but the only lifeforms that can survive a nuclear Holocaust are cockroaches."

That's not true humans can and most likely survive a nuclear holocaust simply bc unless you are caught with in 50 miles of a nuclear bomb or something of that nature you will most likely survive. For how long depends on how much radiation is left in the atmosphere and the full extent of the holocaust.

(EDIT BY: LEFCOJ) fruit flies can withstand up to 100,000 rads! that's 100 times more than a human cockroaches can only survive about 50,000 rads. if you are caught within six miles of the blast radius we will die. but...there is hope if you are about 10 miles from the blast you still want to take procautionary measures(because you might get the fallout!!!!) if you have a basement under or more than six inches below the ground HIDE IN THERE!!!! THAT IS YOUR BEST CHANCE!!!!! radiation can only go six inches under the ground. if you don't have a basement and it is safe to go outside if there is no fallout, wear boots and cover up with warm clothes that you will need to dispose of right after use, because its gonna be cold!!! that's why its called nuclear winter it will be just like winter in Alaska. you will want to dig six inches of the soil in your yard and dispose of it. but you better get a gun because once the blast is over, its gonna be hell. there will be rrobbers and looters trying to steal, or maybe kill you to get your supplies. stay in the safest place with food and water. for more information, go to www.YouTube.com and type in "Protect and Survive Videos" these vids were issued to Britain in the 1970s and80s, when the nuclear threat was very high. so be safe, stock up, and LIVE!!!!!

eventually the cockroaches will die of hunger.

You forgot two major lifeforms that will also survive: most forms of groundworms and waterbears.

I saw an episode of Family Guy that proved that humans can survive a nuclear holocaust. whats up alex

I shouldn't think so. The only thing that i know of that can survive being hit by a nuclear bomb or missile is a cockroch

It might but its way too dangerious

NOTHING can survive being hit by an nuclear blast. The saying that a roach would survive only relates to it surviving the radioactive fallout. Several insects share this ability, the saying about twinkies is a bit of an urban myth - a joke playing on them being indestructible.

no, they cannot. Twinkies are made from dairy, and dairy eventually expires. they are also made from matter, that can easily be digested, so whats stopping it from being obliterated?
