Wednesday, February 25, 2009

A new study indicates that an increased level of serotonin—a chemical that can prevent depression in humans—causes locusts to swarm. What do you think?

Andrea Lingel,
Farmer
"It makes me so mad to think that those little bastards are probably enjoying the hell out of themselves as they destroy all my corn."

Justin Hall,
Personal Assistant
"And all this time I thought locust plagues were sent by a vengeful and jealous God. Once again I have been delivered from the dark recesses of ignorance. Praise Jesus!"

Erik Poole,
Systems Analyst
"You know, this makes sense. My buddy Craig seems pretty happy, and he's always surrounded by thousands of locusts."
