That is the stupidest thing I’ve read all month.

Mosquitoes are older than us in evolutionary terms, so THEY should win.

Mosquitoes WERE NOT at the brink of extinction for DDT use.

An engineered plague is what you call evolution? More like moronity.

Mosquitos are attracted to: Blood, milk, warmth and moisture (bad news for obese pregnant women who’ve fallen down the stairs). Therefore, soak a sponge in warm milk, drip blood onto it, coat it in PVA and leave it on the radiator – Voila! Instant mosquito trap!

Happens to me a lot!!…..i cant stand the buzzing so i stay up and search for the little bugger…..9 out of 10 times i was able to find it and kill it. B)

By: Tommy boy

Tommy boy — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:12:02 +0000

Not me. All these tactics don’t work.

So what I do is I lie still and wait: when it’s buzzing that means its heading in for the “kill”. So I wait till it lands on my face or arms, wait until I feel the first jab (very soon after landing).

then WHAM – dead mosquito, no mark.

You really have to be Bene Gesserit to nail one of them like that.

What you gotta do is pick a strategic spot from which you can see most of the room, mostly a corner. Then, with all the lights on, wait. Eventually, it’ll fly into your field of view. Start tracking it, focus on it intensly and keep following it until it lands. Then smash it as hard as you can. This may take up to an hour, but the end result is very satisfying.

Meh, I’ve had my fair share. Sometimes I even pass them up.

I thought my comment was rather clever, that the chart repeats itself though the night.
(And I am ‘joking’ about being first, in case some people still don’t get it)

By: Max

Max — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:15:57 +0000

Ah, see? You should do what I do. Wait for it to buzz into your ear, wait for it to land. Wait another second, and THEN smash it. Your ear may sting a little, but it’s worth it.

You are very ambitious. You’re probably pretty successful in life. How many “firsts” have you attained?

Here’s the thing about mosquitos. You can only hear them when they are really close to your ear, and when light is introduced, they land on the nearest dark thing. So, if you want to kill the mosquito, look for it on the nearest dark thing by your head. They are usually hiding there.

From an evolutionary point of view, mosquitoes are older than humans, so according to this logic we should win. Unfortunately, as we all know, this is not the case, although at least some species were at the brink of extinction after massive use of DDT in the 40s and 50s. However, in the not-so-far future we should be able so solve the mosquito problem once and for all using an engineered plague. THAT’S what I’d call evolution, suckers (literally).

By: mamarosa

I’m not having a ‘go’.

I was misunderstood. And how am I going to achieve ‘first’ if I am long winded?

Nothing to tear apart except that it’s more of a chart than a graph.

And it’s so effin’ true!

By: mamarosa

NO, that’s not what I meant!!!

I meant the chart repeats itself throughout the night!

Maybe you’re just special? Like my neighbor’s kid who tries to bite his own ear. Or the guy who stands on the corner with a phone book and frantically flips through it when he sees you (like he knows your name and he’s looking up where you live). Maybe there’s no mosquito?
