Sounds like God is upset with the French too.

Has France surrendered to the locusts yet?

"...when they have finished they leave some kind of scent so the cattle do not want to graze on what is left."

Pot. Kettle. Black.

"The locust has no known predator and the only insecticides which might make a difference are banned..."

Well, gee, Jacques, sure wish I could work up a bit of sympathy for you, but if you're not going to help yourself why should I bother?

Knowing the French as we all do they will blame this on the US. Yep. They will say that the locust are honing in on them because they prefer their crops due to the fact that they are not genetically altered. If the US would stop growing genetically altered crops the locast spread would be evened out.

". . .and when they have finished they leave some kind of scent so the cattle do not want to graze on what is left.'"

As Randy Quaid said in Independence Day to the aliens, "Payback's a b*tch, ain't it?"

Or do they not have showers and deodorant for insects?

So which comes next: the rain of frogs or the Seine turned to blood? Anyone have a copy of Exodus handy?

(2 Chr 7:13 NKJV) "When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,

(2 Chr 7:14 NKJV) "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Last year it was the heat wave. This year it's the locusts. And I just can't find it within myself to feel sorry for France. What the locusts don't rape and pillage, the muslims will finish the job.

Nonsense. I'm sure frogs will eat them. (e.g., "Let them eat locusts")

When are the frogs coming, will the Seine turn blood red, and will their first born now all die?

I too think that GOD is fed up with the French.
