Saw them on the news last night. Dubbo was swarming with them. Zillions of them hopping and flying around the streets. Real nightmare material if you don't like bugs!

Aus has it all - the Twelve Plagues:

First Plague: The Rivers Turned to Blood
Second Plague: The Toads
Third Plague: The Mice
Fourth Plague: The Flies
Fifth Plague: The Diseases of Livestock
Sixth Plague: The Boils
Seventh Plague: The Hailstorms
Eighth Plague: The Locusts
Ninth Plague: The Darkness
Tenth Plague: The Death of the Firstborn.
Eleventh Plague: The Droughts
Twelfth Plague: The Fires

Christ, does this mean Australia can look forward to The Darkness touring later this year?

Megs, i'm surprised poms are not at numero uno

OMG - your right - how witless of me - this will take quite some living down.

To redeem myself: just the odd million or two of Poms and the rest follow:

Rivers Turned to Blood - Deforestation.
Toads - Who needs them without cane.
Mice - Waving wheat where the Malley fowl once scratched.
Flies - Strange quadruped dung in a stranger land.
Diseases of Livestock - Flystruck Sheep.
Boils - Pommie tucker.
Hailstorms - Pommie Industrial Revolution --> Global Warming.
Locusts - Self explanatory.
Darkness - Christianity.
Death of the Firstborn - Poisoned Rations.
Droughts - Well not actually the Poms fault this one.
Fires - The forgotten firestick.

Fraid they have already been. They were here last month
