I didn't think I'd ever use the word 'majestic' to describe a cockroach

In order to jump 50 times its body length, it has to jump 25 times its body length. In order to jump 25 times its body length, it has to jump 12.5 times its body length. Etc ad infinitum therefore it can never jump 50 times its own body length, so I feel ok about it.

that's where you're wrong, ledge. it teleports.
