Yeah, it's not going to work too well if all the released mosquitoes end up getting lit at a gay bar.

...these kind of things always end badly. The GM mosquitos will no doubt give us something worse.

Just call the CDC when you start glowing in the dark. They'll send in the Corps of Engineers to build a levee around your house to prevent you from leaving and producing any children that look like hallowe'en pumpkins.

Ain't that the truth. Every time we try to play god it bites us in the ass.

Really? How many people do you know that have died of smallpox? Did you know there were riots when smallpox vaccination began in the U.S., due to charges of 'playing god' and other such nonsense?

We already have the answer, DDT, but the environ fools are set on killing millions by not allowing it to be used. Instead they give out mosquito nets and now mosquitoes with glowing testicles. Idiots all.

This is the reason I don't carry a pistol with tritium night sights. So maybe you can try that and let us know how it turns out.

chlorobenzene, chloral, sulfuric acid = DDT.

Problems: Too cheap and too effective.

Fluorescent paint might work but where are you going to find someone to do the painting? San Franciso?

Beware of dangers from behind!

"When will Ford come out with a Mosquito?"

LOL! I hear the mosquitoes will have to be given their physical exams by Mr. Goodwrench.
