Roaches are like mini lobsters. Same family.

Yes, I read a Scifi short story a long, long time back where they crossed a roach and a lobster and made giant bugs. They called them roachsters or something like that, and they used them for cars. The only problem was that the roachster cars would flip out after a while and run into the ocean. However, there was a thriving canned lobster meat industrey because of the escaping roachsters...

It could happen.

It was at least twenty years ago that I read that story, so I have no idea who the author was... Although, it would probably be easy to look up on the internet. At the beginning of the story there was a genetically modifide pig that was used as a garbage disposal which was installed under a sink.

It's sci-fi , man; what do you expect...?

Ok, I looked around on the web a little. It was most likely one of the books of Organic Future by Thomas A. Easton
. I think I read it in 1988 or so.
