If a mosquito is bothering me in my sleep I turn on the lights and they beat it quick. Sometimes I try to sleep with the lights on, but that sucks. If it is a question of malaria, mosquitoes will still sting outside in the afternoons and evenings. ........... Why are those idiots trying to save lives anyhow? Humans really have got matters screwed up in that sense. We live way too long lives anyhow. It would be best if we only lived to about 30 or so and cashed in the chips for another round later. Radiation will have a good effect on that life-span problem though. It is because they consider themselves immortal, because they have convinced themselves that they are enjoying their existences, but have no memory of the other side, like I do, so they are just afraid of the dark, that's all. There are no mosquitoes on the other side, after you die. It's all park lands and nicely tended buildings and spirit guides and such. In each continuing round, the very best years are childhood and things go clearly downhill from there. So I don't mind trying to exterminate those mosquito buggers, but please don't give me this bullshit about saving lives. |

All you need is a bag of water. [link to science.howstuffworks.com] |
