Don’t Let the Bedbugs Bite

“If you know anything about bedbugs, you know they are ridiculously difficult to get rid of once you have an infestation.”

This story is a cute piece about something quite ugly: bedbugs are no joke people. I think last year we had a few and my co-worker recommended this primo spray called: Champion SprayOn® Multi-Purpose Insect & Lice Killer-10 oz. It normally costs $45 a bottle, but you can get it cheaper here. Item CHA5106.

This stuff is great. It doesn’t smell heavily of pesticide (or really of anything) so you can spray the shit out of your mattress and linens and not have to leave the room. If you know anything about bedbugs, you know they are ridiculously difficult to get rid of once you have an infestation. Like, way worse than fleas. Like people have to throw their furniture away.

For more info: bedbugs on Wikipedia, bedbugs in New York and bedbugs at Fox News (ha ha!).

Evolutionary

“If we look at the innumerable species of animals who exist or have existed, we see many, many failures.”

I love this blog!

Evangelicals point to mutualism and say, See, proof of Intelligent Design. And it truly is a marvelous, even miraculous, thing.

But I firmly believe that things like mutualism is proof of evolution, that these beneficial associations exist because they have enabled these species to survive. Without the perpetuation of the species, there are no beneficial associations.

We can point to the shrimp and the goby as a success story, but if we look at the innumerable species of animals who exist or have existed, we see many, many failures. Unintelligent Design, if you will.

As with people, history is written by the winners.
