Cockroaches can't actually survive a nuke, that would be ridiculous. They can however, survive the fallout of a nuke much better than most other species.
They can't even do that. Seriously, does nobody here watch QI or Mythbusters? Cockroaches are among the most radiation-susceptible insects out there.
What next? Water only appears blue because of the sky? Glass is a liquid?
Yep true they are like 10 times better than us in surviving the rads.

If I remember correctly, Fruit Flies were one of the most radiation resistant insects.
Also glass is an amorphous solid, because it doesn't undergo a true phase change between liquid and solid.
People who actually know what they're talking about, as opposed to making an "OMG COCKROACHES ARE SO 1337" post? On The Flood? Madness.
