  27. Did you actually check your facts? Seriously. Human hair and nails appear longer after death because the skin recedes thus giving the appearance of growth because the nail and hairs become significantly longer. And the cockroach does NOT have a high toleration to nuclear radiation, despite the wives tale. Cockroaches are simply the first creature to return and repopulate an area after a nuclear event. Do not have untrue facts on a website people go to for true facts!!!
