    If it even worked a little, I might get one. Where I live, the mosquitoes are so big they eat citronella candles as an appetizer before they drag you off into the woods.

    @OMG! Lightning!: It shouldn't get any more tingly than if you get bit on your balls while you are awake. However, if you would like to be sure, I could help you test this theory.

    [gizmodo.com]


    Admittedly, he is a facebooker*, and that puts him under suspicion, and he shouldn't have opened his comment (the first comment on the page, mind you) with "Old news is old?"


    But that's irrelevant. Please, think through your comments before insulting people.

    Personally, I recognize that mosquitoes and cockroaches will inherit our planet, so I use the cardboard flower shapes to welcome them into my home and show them around. I would hate for the next owners to move in and not have a pleasant guided tour as they eat their lunch.


    Seriously - it is amusing to me that with all of these fancy machines pumping CO2 into our atmosphere to attract these things that someone comes along with this funny looking flower that might work just as well.

    This is great, even after you realize that Bill Gates is using the fight against malaria as a front for developing laser weapons that he will use to take over the world, similar to this man:



    I mean, do you really know what code is in Windows? Secret mind control? Bill Gates, I'm watching you...
