  Not sure if there are solid evidence established to prove this, but Cockroaches are believed to be capable of surviving large amount of radiations (like from nuclear bomb), hence they thought it would be apt for a geographically distributed DB. https://sciencenotes.org/can-cockroaches-survive-nuclear-bomb/ https://sciencenotes.org/can-cockroaches-survive-nuclear-bom...

    I wonder if they brainstormed something like BunkerDB when deciding on a name with that in mind.
