From TFA:

The whole thing?

Sometimes a gamble just doesn't pay off.

Bah, they haven't seen mosquitoes until they move to Kansas in the summer... I think I saw one carry off a small child the other day.

Did they bite your sister?

The letter Ø is in Danish and Norwegian. Swedes use Ö.

I lived in Richmond Virginia for a couple of years. The mosquitos left welts on me the size of quarters. In PA the mosquitos leave welts the size of dimes.

//goddamned mosquitos and bees love me

Are you sure it was a Llama? The North Chilean Guanaco is closely related to the Llama.

RTFA! One of my favourite actresses of all time is ALIVE!!!!! Unfortunately she and her fellow townspeople have apparently never heard of DEET insect repellants....

My wife & I went hiking in the Muddas National Park near Gallivare, Sweden. Worst. Mosquitoes. Ever. Also did not expect such a heat wave in the Arctic Circle. Reindeer meat & red berries were good.

So, they've had farms there since 1540, and nobody ever tried to control mosquitoes until 1900 or so. That sound you hear is your Viking ancestors turning over in their buried longships. Sack up, Swedes.

/Mosquitoes get worse the farther north you go. The Georgia mosquito is a minor annoyance, while the Minnesota mosquito is more of a Nosferatu-type deal. These Swedish ones are probably godawful.

//Immune to mosquito spit. Get a little bump, goes away in an hour.

Do they not have bats and birds and dragonflies in the frozen wastelands of Europe? There is a also a relative of the mosquito that as a larva feeds on mosquito larvae.

If submitter said that "내가 ばかアム" was Chinese then you would all be calling him a racist idiot or something.

OldRod: Bah, they haven't seen mosquitoes until they move to Kansas in the summer... I think I saw one carry off a small child the other day.

I grew up hearing that mosquitoes came in two sizes - those small enough to fit through the holes in the screen door and those big enough to open it.

Doesn't work on us mixed types though (Portuguese-Spanish-French-Irish-other stuff). I get bit more than a fat kid at a vampire convention.

Ha, the jokes on you!! We were going to call subby an idiot anyway.

Be nice to have some sort of quantification of the amount of skeeters so we could judge how wimpy these people are.

Sometimes it pays to scroll down and see the other articles on the front page:

" 'Swede charged for solciting nude pics from pre-teen girls'
An Uppsala University education student has been charged for requesting nude pictures over the internet from hundreds of underage girls across Sweden."

/yay Sweeden

the article linked next to this one is far more enjoyable-

Methinks they should come spend a summer here in Maine. We've had so much rain that the clouds we have aren't clouds at all any more, they're mosquitoes blocking out the Sun.

There's kerosene around. They'll find something to do...

Great quote from an old guy I used to know.

"If you have mosquitoes, son, what you need is dragonflies. Dragonflies will eat a 'cubic ton' of mosquitoes!"

Even as a kid, that impressed me.
