I was reading different little articles on MSN and came across an article about weird facts. It sounded like it could be interesting so I clicked on to see what I could see. I love learning little known facts. I was rather disgusted when I read this little fact about mosquitoes. It turns out that scientists have discovered that while the little critter is drawing out our blood for a meal they also urinate on us. Not a pretty image to put in your mind's eye is it? Given the fact that there are 100 trillion mosquitoes in the world today, and each one is responsible for about 5 human bites a day, it is more than slightly yucky to me. Did you know about this little fact? I certainly didn't. I didn't like mosquitoes before, not I positively think the all need to be banished from the face of the earth. What do you think?

I just read that same article about 5 seconds ago! LOL One thing I have always wondered about.....why didn't Noah kill all the mosquitoes when there were only two of them on the ark?

That's a good question. Quite an oversight on his part.

I did not know, but I know that I get at least 1 bite every day, even if I spray myself every time before going out.

@HazySue Yeah, they don't eat any bad things, they don't pollinate, they're just annoying and carry disease.

That's a bit gross. Mosquitoes are much deadly than was once thought.

I couldn't believe that I could like them less than I already did.
