Forget naming a star after your loved one for Valentine's Day, how about a Madagascar hissing cockroach.  For just $10 the Bronx Zoo will give you the honor of naming  one of these huge roaches and you'll get a certificate to prove it.

The zoo says naming a roach will honor a sweetheart's resourcefulness and resiliency. As the zoo puts it: "Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. Roaches are forever."

1,700 names have already be chosen.
