Here it comes again. Valentine's Day. The yearly rite of romance greeted with wistful sighs by the romantically endowed or disdainful grunts by reality-infused Cupids. Some beloveds through the ages have had stars named after them. The unbeloveds? Not so much. But now the not-so-loveds can have their own namesakes here on earth. Running around. On spindly little legs. All six of them.
In what Erie Zoo calls "a perfect way to show your affection or lack thereof," this Valentine's Day you can honor your beloved - or a not-so-loved - by naming one of the zoo's Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches after them. But it's not for the sake of deriding anyone. It's to support the zoo's conservation programs, which will receive 10 percent of each sale. There are two tiers of naming: $20 and $10. For $20, the Valentine or Un-Valentine will receive a certificate along with a rubber roach in a themed envelope. For $10, the Valentine or Un-Valentine will receive a printable certificate by email.
