Something that hit me about the mosquitos: If they have so many teeth, why do we get stuck with their nose? AND where are their teeth stored? You don't need to answer, both are rhetorical, but if you can answer, I would be thankful. It would also educate the masses, because you can be sure I would be spreading that kind of information around. (I know, I am strange!)
