I'd rather not think about that.

Now you can answer the question WHY you swallowed the fly...

I don't know why I swallowed the fly, perhaps I'll die.

Leah, would you like to come visit my office when the 17 year cicaidas attack philadelphia?

Christ Almighty, I am NOT looking forward to that! It was bad enough when they came 17 years ago, and now (being more bug-a-phobic more than ever), I just want to lock myself indoors until they are gone...ha!

We get them over here in Sydney, honestly how big can they get?

You have 17-year cicadas in Australia? I thought they were a North American thing. The issue isn't so much the size (though that's a big part of it), as the number. Essentially, we're about to get a swarm of cicadas on a similar scale as the locust swarm in the picture.

Mostly it's the hideous noise.

Cricket overpowers locusts.
