Sign says 'MISQUITO SPAYING'

Steady hand required

Location: Wild Dunes Resort, Charleston
Spotted by: Charlie Aikman

The idea of spaying an entire population of female mosquitos to keep them from breeding is funny. One would have to trap them, put each one under a microscope… Alternatively, one could come up with a science fiction scenario involving a very sophisticated, robust, and carefully targeted implementation of self-replicating nanotechnology in the form of tiny flying robots that would somehow target female mosquitos. But that would cause all sorts of worries about the flying anti-mosquito nanobots going rogue.

We can only wish that there were a more effective way to get rid of those pesky biting mosquitos once and for all. They carry an enormous variety of diseases and the human race would arguably be much better off without them.

On the other hand, if we were frogs, we could just eat what bugs us!
