Clearly, the War on Terror needs to be expanded to include a good locust exterminator.

Swarms of locusts obscure the Giza pyramids near Cairo, November 17, 2004. The pink locusts that swept through Cairo recalled the plague of biblical Egypt, flying high above tall towers and scaring pedestrians who stamped on them or ran for cover. Photo by Aladin Abdel Naby/Reuters

I was thinking about this the other night. And since there are so many terrorists and they just keep coming, I was wondering if the Bible meant the killers. Meaning the locust are the terrorists. Just a thought.

But these are real live locust?

Ever seen a Florida grasshopper? The 1st time I saw one when I moved down here it nearly knocked me off my bike.

(Yes, the pic is a joke)

Let's see...A plague of locusts in Cairo, and Yasser Arafag was born there and given a state funeral there less than a week ago...hmmm, I wonder if there's a connection.
