If The Matrix really wanted people to play its game,

it'd write mosquitoes out of the equation. No need to go for a Perfect World scenario; people would willingly embrace its fictions in a heartbeat if there were NO FRICKIN' MOSQUITOES.

That is all.

I'm a Long Islander. I'm *supposed* to make fun of New Jersey!

No, no, he's quite right. The New Jersey mosquito is our state bird, Eastern Goldfinch notwithstanding. As a matter of fact, if I recall aright the oldest fossil mosquito ever dug up was found in modern New Jersey. We've had biting insects here for at least 90 million years - the Sayreville amber deposits were very popular insect sources for the American Museum of National History.

That doesn't make the little bitches any more likable. I'm just sayin' they've been our problem since the dawn of time.

When I go to Alaska, I'm bringin' a bottle of pure DEET and a big-ass flamethrower.
