I've got an idea that's crazy, but sometimes crazy works.

Me too.

Are they Kosher?

Are they Kosher?

Stranger questions have been asked by saner people:

While the consumption of most insects is considered to be forbidden under the laws of kashrut, the rabbis of the Talmud identified four kosher species of locusts. However, the identity of those species is in dispute....

"Every flying insect that uses four legs for walking shall be avoided by you. The only flying insects with four walking legs you may eat are those with knees extending above their feet, [using these longer legs] to hop on the ground. Among these you may only eat members of the red locust family, the yellow locust family, the spotted gray locust family and the white locust family. All other flying insects with four feet [for walking] must be avoided by you." –Leviticus 11:20-23
-- Wikipedia entry for Kosher locust

Years ago, one of the tabloid newspapers had dog fits over the idea that the government of China was preparing to destroy the world.

It was going to do this by ordering the entire population of China to stand on chairs, then at exactly the same time, to jump off. The force of their doing so, according to the tabloid, would jar the Earth out of orbit, dooming us all.

DC could benefit from a few hungry grasshoppers to clear out some of the fruits and vegetables in the House and Senate.
