#1 Pink locusts, well at least people will see them swarming. Last Days sign? It would great for a horror movie. 'Attack of The Pink Locust'!

#2 This was like the second or third seal (The Seventh Sign), wasn't it?

#3 I am not sure which sign it is. Although Egypt was a 'Biblical land" and with everything else taking place in lands mentioned in the Bible from Persia (Iran) to the land of Israel, this event should not be a surprise to anyone, expect those which have totally discounted Biblical signs for future trends in the general area where man began. There are always previews prior to the real thing, thus stay tune, things are about to become increasingly more volatile.

#4 Are you sure that it is 'possed to be PINK locusts?
Anyhoo, that's 4th seal.

#5 I'm an atheist, Mark, so my comment was rhetorical and the movie reference was just my curiosity - easy bro!

As for Pink, well, I have little first-hand experience with "locusts" so any old color could be the normal color as far as I know, lol! Pink is provocative and must be unusual, however, else I don't think it would've been mentioned, heh.

And I am fascinated with apocalypse stories, for some reason. I favor "On the Beach" (Nevile Shute), myself. Must've been those "duck and cover" drills in school...

#6 Any bets that, by the end of next week, Arabs will be accusing Israel of genengeneering these locusts?

#7 .Com there is an old saying; ..There are no true atheists in foxholes when under enemy fire..

I just think it more than odd looking at the center of global conflict today, the beginning of the end, may have already begun, where man began.

As far as those locust, wouldn't it nice if they could skip over a few nations and head right into to the mullahs dwellings, while they are sleeping?

Just like monkeys

#8 There are no true atheists in foxholes when under enemy fire..

Just for the record, Mark, that really annoys atheists -- because, like so many old sayings, it isn't in the least bit true -- at least according to my husband's favorite great uncle, who spent WWII in Europe shooting things that moved.

Other than that, every generation since -- at least! -- Plato has complained that a) today's youngsters are lazy, shiftless, and coddled, and b) the world is about to end. To the best of my knowledge, neither has yet been true, and I don't see any reason why the trend should change.

#10 So what is it that comes next? The plague of frogs, the waters turning to blood, or what?
