cockroach after their ex for Valentine’s Day.
別介意割剪他們的衣服或扔掉他們的物品，被拋棄的戀人們現在可以藉著用前男、女友大名幫蟑螂取名來過情人節。

from all over the world to the Hemsley Conservation Centre, in southeastern
England, which runs the project as a fundraiser.
各方請求已從世界各地湧入位於英格蘭東南部的赫姆斯利保育中心，它辦這個計畫當募款活動。
"If you’ve had a particularly nasty

yourself or with your friends," operations manager Henry Weedon said.
計畫經理亨利．威登說，「如果你有個特別不舒服的分手經驗，你需要來個提振精神的東西，對自己或和朋友咯咯聊著傻笑是個好方法。」
