We at FHS were looking at Exodus the other day and we've determined that the 10 plagues of the Bible probably wouldn't have affected us as much as it affected the Egyptians. Here's a breakdown of why it wouldn't be a problem for Calvin and I, in no particular order.
10. Death of the first born
- Apologies to both of our older sisters, but this plague has no effect on us. Calvin and I also both don't have children...yet.
9. Water to Blood
- We would make millions donating all our water to Red Cross.
8. Flies
- We never shower, so we're already used to this.
7. Frogs
- There goes our fly problem.
6. Gnats
- Some translations have it as lice. I would love to have more li-ce, especially around Chinese new year.
5. Hail
- We survived January 2011 in Boston, I think we will be fine.
4. Darkness
- It'll be like watching the end of the Sopranos on repeat.
3. Locusts
- We've both been in between a large group of children and a Costco-size box of Dunkaroos. We've lived to tell about it.
2. Boils
- Boils are like really big pimples. Calvin and I probably won't be going to the Sadie Hawkins Dance anyway, even if we didn't have the boils.
1. Death of live stock
- No more beef... This can't be happening... BOCAAAAA!!!

The one plague you wouldn't have a problem with is the one plague I'd be most likely to make it through. That and #10, perks of being the youngest.
I like how you picked the one poster with chinese on it
haha yup, chinese prince of egypt.
i wish i had been more modest during that photo shoot.
Costco doesn't seriously have dunkaroos do they?!?!
I think for #10 it's oldest boy. So you'd both die. A seminary student should check on this fact though.
i can see why one would confuse firstborn for firstborn son, being chinese and all.
in Exodus 11:4-5, 12:29, 13:15 the word for firstborn is the same word: "buhcor" which IS in the masculine singular, but this does not mean the firstborn son, but is in same vein of using "man" to refer to "humanity"
thus we are safe again.
