Sparky, can you fix the Wikipedia article?
I got out of the Wikipedia business years ago after watching information I'd corrected be changed back to the wrong information. It's right up there with reading the comments on Salon for me.
What a lovely picture.
Thank-you to everyone!

Luckily I haven't been burnt that way. But mostly I end up making grammatical corrections, because I don't tend to read articles on things I already know.
Though come to think of it I never did get around to reading that. Oh well, plenty of time after the Rapture.
I read the first one. I kept screaming at the book PLAGIARISM! for it reminded me of Stephen King The Stand, but with religion thrown in. It wasn't good enough for the second book of the series. Oh, and nobody warned me it was a Rapture book.
I'm curious about Left Behind but there always seems to be something else I'd rather read instead. I used to be able to say the same thing about Twilight.
oh you've got to be kidding me!
A 1972 study in Nature found that mosquitoes were more likely to bite people with type O blood than other potential victims

all this time I thought I was imagining that the skeeters loved me and it turns out I'm their favorite blood type!
Just got back from the farmers' market. Oh, gosh, I am sore and tired. I feel just like I did a month or so ago when I first started making myself walk the couple blocks to get there. Of course, today I feel wiped out because earlier in the afternoon, I went down to the nature center, and hiked on modestly hilly trails with the Nordic walking poles, and then walked to the market.
Good for you, WindSparrow!
Laga, Left Behind is even more poorly written than Twilight, and (personally speaking) a gazillion times more annoying.
I'm envious of Windsparrow's Nordic walking poles.

Nah, we are just particularly tasty morsels. DH and I both are O+ and they chew on me and ignore him.
Eat garlic and spicy foods. Works a treat, I swear. I still get bit occasionally by skeeters (living, as I do, in Mosquito Mecca...there's a "mosque" "mosquito" joke in there, but I can't quite reach it and it's probably more trouble than it's worth anyway...) but nowhere near as much as I did as a kid before I developed the love of garlic/hot sauce that I have today.
