Why people are stupid.

From every entomologist and exterminator, and this particular statement officially from the University of Florida IFAS Extension (and being a giant fucking swamp, Florida knows mosquitoes!)

What About Devices That Emit Sound To Repel Mosquitoes?
There is no evidence that wearing devices that emit sound will repel mosquitoes.

“No evidence” doesn’t take a degree in any hard science to understand. I know it’s only 99 cents, but c’mon! I read some of the reviews, just for the hell of it, and lost a little more hope for the future of intelligent life on this planet because some people had actually convinced themselves that it really did work. Even accounting for the dev’s mother, favourite aunt and best friend from grade school to have written positive reviews, that’s still a whole lot of stupid.

USA! USA! USA!

Came across this….somewhere. Don’t remember where. Sadly, I’m not surprised. Well, at least it’s no longer iFart. That must be progress of some sort, I suppose.

Why I need a new tattoo.

I’d die before I’d get a dolphin (or a butterfly, or a heart, or any of the other tattoo clichés), but I found this little doodle of a betta on DA, and I think it’s very funny. Also cute. Cleaned up and coloured, I think it’d make a cool tattoo…probably on my shoulderblade. Maybe hip…dunno. Yeah, I’m too old to get a new tattoo, and I don’t care–if I feel like it, I will! 😀
