Plagues and Other Hobbies

Today in my Literature of the Bible class, our task was to come up with ten modern plagues. I thought my list was pretty good. What do you think?

1. All cell phone spomtaneoulsy combust
2. The Mississippi River runs plaid for a week
3. All radio signals in the world get stuck on Justin Bieber songs
4. It rains used Taco Bell wrappers for a week
5. Cats develop the ability to speak and tell us how dumb they think we really are.
6. The cast of Glee starts singing a hip hop version of Free Bird and can't stop until they have keeled over with exhaustion
7. The internet is taken over by the People of Wal-Mart.
8. All first born boys suddenly look like Flava-Flav and Stewie Griffin had a baby.
9. The smell of vomit takes over Washington DC
10. Monkeys hijack airplanes and fling their poop at us from 500 feet up.

Just a random word about other hobbies:

We teachers love to torture unsuspecting students with tricky writing prompts. We lay in bed at night thinking them up when the rest of the world is snoozing. I enjoyed the ten plagues assignment. Comment back with your own modern plagues.

Eating icing is the best way to beat insomnia (trust me, I know)

I like to stick to the four food groups: candy, candy corn, cany canes and sugar. How about you?
