Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon - one mozzie is biting an arm and is all bloated and huge, the other mozzie is saying "Pull out, pull out! You've hit an artery!"

I thought that it was "Pull out, pull out ! He's got High Blood Pressure"

Anyone else agree that the high pitched buzzing sound of a mozzie is quite possibly the most irritating sound on Earth?

I read somewhere once that they like people with 0 neg. blood. I'm 0 neg. and always get eaten alive. I don't know if this is really true, but I'm curious to know if others who regularly get bitten are 0 neg. too.

O+ doesn't discourage them.

I think the answer to the original question is:
א-zero


I'll let the non-mathematicians look that up.

I drink and smoke to much. Critters like mozzies and spiders generally avoid me. It is simple survival instinct. If they bite me they get poisoned and they die. I have been outside since 8.30 PM and got bitten once. No repellent or any of those things that can give you cancer. Just drunk half a bottle of Schnapps and smoke more than half of packed of White Ox.. I’m imagining VY CMa. 35 minutes exposure and I pop in because it is getting bit cold outside. 20 Deg .right now. The seeing is very good. the stars are rock steady. There seems to be bug in latest Synta firmware. If you select SAO and execute GoTo you can not nudge scope afterwards.

Yep, especially when they fly into your ear.
