Biblical Plague Smites Cancun

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Cancun, a biblical plague has smitten the Mexican resort town.

Last year, it was Hurricane Wilma that descended from the heavens to tear apart the popular beach town like something right out of the Old Testament.

After almost a year of rebuilding, Cancun was back on its feet--but not for long. Three weeks ago, a swarm of locusts swooped down upon this Mexican Riviera of sin and debauchery. The hungry critters have been decimating crops and wrecking havoc throughout the region and have yet to be stopped.

It's getting just a little scary if you ask me. If it starts raining frogs any time soon, I'm moving to Alaska asap.
