Retired Professor eats 200 Cicadas

Sunday 30th May, Crackville, retired Professor, Dr Crack Jackson, ate 200 chocoalate covered cicadas.

(PRWEB) June 2, 2004 -- As part of a charity festival held in Crackville, IL., Dr Crack Jackson, retired professor of entymology at DUCI, ate over 200 chocoalate covered Cicadas.

Dr Jackson took advantage of the periodic invasion of cicada bugs that occurs every 17 years, and made over $650,000 for the "Profanity for Humanity" fund.

"I'm delighted with how it went", Said Jackson. "It was a light-hearted affair, the kids seemed to enjoy it. We did some good today".

Asked what the cicadas tasted like, Dr Jackson replied, "The were a bit like chewy asparagus. Mind you, I'm feeling pretty gassy now. I'm going to need my Nature's Platform tonight".

Joking aside, Dr Jackson's efforts have brought to light an important issue that needs to be addressed. "Not enough people are aware of the diminishing need for manners and common courtesy, causes like Profanity for Humanity, highlight how ignorant and rude the majority of adult humans are."
