Of Biblical Proportions

Mandarin Ducks   (by Francis C. Franklin)

Pakistan is currently being plagued by swarms of locusts.  This plague, which is hitting other countries from Africa to Asia, will be combatted by ducks.

Yes, ducks.  Neighboring China, fearing that the plague will infiltrate its borders, is planning to send “at least 100,000 ducks” to Pakistan.  These “biological weapons” are expected to eat massive amounts of locusts.

If Egypt’s Pharaoh had thought of this, biblical history might have turned out differently.  Or not.  Some things are just meant to be.
