A Zoo is letting you name a coachroach after your ex, for only $2

The opposite of naming a star after your significant other officially exists. The Hemsley Conservation Centre in southeast London is allowing people to name a cockroach after their ex for Valentines Day this year.

They are doing this to raise money for future Zoo projects.

Here is how it will work.

People who go to the Zoo will be able to see the cockroaches names displayed right next to the cockroach exhibit. Each ex will be assigned to a unique cockroach. The cost to participate in this is $2.
