did anyone else see this on the news at 9PM? on Fox 6?

Something about A BILLION Cicada bugs invading the SE counties of Wisconsin over the next 6-8 weeks? Oh man what a mess this is going to be. They say 1 male bug can make a sound up to 90db's which is the sound of a chainsaw..... :mad: this should be a good summer! :flipoff2: :chair: i'll keep an eye out for the news link.

i'm sure it will be on at 10PM as well.

They hurt like hell when you're on a bike too if you aren't wearing a bucket.

I remember the last time they were around, I offered this guy $5 to eat
a live one. I was just joking but he actually did it. :eek:
I about threw up when I heard it crunching in his mouth.
