2 cicada broods are popping up together for the first time in 221 years — and they'll meet in Illinois.

You really have to wonder how that species ever developed. They sleep in the ground for 17 years, all crawl up into the trees at the same time, fool around, drop eggs and die.

A sense of humor would explain more than natural selection.

One of my oddest and earliest childhood memories (in Yuma, AZ no less) was the side of our house covered with cicada "shells" (empty) during a bloom. My sister and I threw tennis balls at them, trying to smash them off the wall. I must've been about 4.
