Good news people the 8th sign that the world is about to end is here

Israel Hit by Worst Locust Plague Since 1950s

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Millions of locusts swarmed through Israel's Red Sea resort town of Eilat on Sunday, devouring crops and flowers in the country's south.

Israeli agriculture officials sent crop dusters into the air to spray against the locusts that swept in from North Africa in the first such invasion since 1959. Eilat residents reported clouds of locusts eating palm trees bare and wiping out entire gardens.

"You watch as trees that are covered with flowers are devoured. They ate everything, even a grassy roundabout which is covered with locusts," said Meir, an Eilat resident.

Curious residents swatted locusts as long as 10 cm (3.9 inches) which filled the air as they walked outside to inspect the damage. "It's like the plagues of Egypt," said one resident.


In the Bible, locusts were the eighth of 10 plagues that God inflicted on the ancient Egyptians before Pharaoh, their leader, let the Israelites go.

Whoopy! The world that God created for is is going to be destroyed!
I have a strong feeling that a lot of people that thing they'll be in the front row in heaven may want to pack some light clothes...it's going to be warm where they're going

5. Actually I hope they all go the same place.
It can even be their version of heaven, just as long as I go somewhere else.

8. You sure about that?
A bunch of cane toads invaded one of Australia's national parks. Check out the oddly enough section of Yahoo.

4. Ummmm well...no, not really
The eighth of the 10 plagues Yaweh inflicted on the Egyptians to make the Pharaoh let the slaves go--

Maybe it's a sign that we aren't going to be enslaved by the stupid fucking Faraoh at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. much longer.

But, the end of the world? Where in the world did you get that?
