They Love the Old Testament in Omaha

Grace University, the Omaha Bible college, is asking alumni to donate money for Commemorative Plagues. For a gift of $5,000, your plague will be embedded for three years on the doorpost over a classroom, presumably so that all the students inside can be slain. Since there are only ten Biblical plagues–bloody water, frogs, gnats, flies, dead cows, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and slaying of the first-born–and since the university wants to raise a total of $100,000, they’re gonna need at least ten more plagues, so I would recommend Bubonic, smallpox, Spanish flu, Black Death, malaria, cholera, typhus, anthrax, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and herpes. That would be enough money to decimate 20 classrooms for three years, and you can dedicate your disease and/or natural disaster to a loved one. Just don’t pick a first born, that would be in poor taste.
