it came in through the bathroom window...

When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason?
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance?
Can you live on a knife-edge?

MADRID, Spain, AP: A new epidemic of golden beetles has Spanish authorities perplexed. These ravenous creatures, normally no more than an annoyance in their native northern African habitat, have been devouring Spanish crops in their entirety. The million dollar question is; how did these little buggers get all the way from Northern Africa? Spanish authorities are now investgating to see if it was some sort of Al Queda terrorist attack. President Jose Luis Zapatero has sworn to find those responsible and wishes to reinstate the death penalty for this crime, even though it has long since been banned by EU countries.
