See for example this thread first.
I first saw this in Chemical & Engineering News, lo! these many years ago (maybe 1984 time frame?), and claim no credit except for remembering it.
A mosquito was heard to complain,
"I fear they have addled my brain!"
"The cause of my sorrow is para-dicholoro-
diphenyl-trichloroethane!"

All who wonder if Rachel Carson (author of
Silent Spring, which contained spurious claims of the harm caused by DDT to wildlife, and was very influential in getting the substance banned) feels any guilt over the deaths of
millions of people -- raise your hand!
Cheers!
