It looks like the plagues of Eqypt are back, and crazier than ever!  I almost didn’t believe this when I read it.  The entire Middle East is bracing for a biblical plague of locust proportions.  30 million bugs, hatched in the fall, are no longer hungry hungry larva, they are hungry hungry insect teenagers, eating everything green in their path.

Also, and I thought this was really weird, apparently people think that burning tires is the way to repel the swarm.  Do not understand that one.  Humungous Citronella candles I could get behind, but tires?  Maybe they are made out of insecticide over there.

This swarm is scheduled to hit Israel by Passover.  That should be fun because *insert LA style Jewish joke here
