\"\"A wet spring in Las Vegas<\/a> has spawned hordes of grasshoppers so large, they’re showing up on the weather radar.<\/p>\n

\"\"The grasshoppers are spoiling vacations and frightening locals.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been drawn to the pyramid-shape of the Luxor Hotel and Casino, where every night they shine a Sky Beam into the sky. Some have compared the scene to the plague of locusts that descended on Egypt in the Book of Exodus.<\/p>\n

Experts say Vegas is particularly attractive to the insects because they are attracted to ultra-violet light \u2014 and few cities light up like Sin City after dark.<\/p>\n

?? Some of you have been asking about the widespread radar returns the past few nights in #Vegas<\/a>. Radar analysis suggests most of these echoes are biological targets. This typically includes birds, bats, and bugs, and most likely in our case–> Grasshoppers. ?? #VegasWeather<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/reQX7hJR7Y<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"There’s an online petition<\/a> right now to change the date of Halloween from October 31st to the last Saturday in October.<\/p>\n

The thinking is that it’d be better for everyone if it were on a Saturday, from parents looking to take their kids trick-or-treating to people in their 20’s looking to dress and throw back some drinks.<\/p>\n

So far, the petition on Change.org<\/a> has around 110,000 signatures. When a petition crosses the 75,000 mark, it’s sent to the President.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, this petition has been going since last year, but it’s finally getting more steam now.<\/p>\n

\"\"Snickers<\/a> is getting behind the movement. They say they’ll give out one million Snickers bars if it happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 30th is the 211th day of the year.
