I put a spoiler warning up for those of you who have yet to read Benson's latest TMWTRT. Hence, be warned as the following has to do with the villains "method of delivery".


Here in the US, there are more and more reports of West Nile Virus in mosquitos throughout the mid-west and Gulf states. I saw a report on both my local and national news last night and again today.

I doubt if there's any "evil power" at work here, but the timing of it among Bond fans makes it very curious.

I'm not particularly worried as the "'skeeters" don't find me very edible. I've rarely been bitten (well, at least by insects;)

People have said "art imitates life"...Hey...there's a potential title "Art Imitates Death".

Anyway, had to share this.

I have to say that when I read The Man With The Red Tattoo I was completely 'scared' of the though of the virus. It was so ingenious, and yet so simple. Who would ever pay attention to a mosquito? I walked around for a few days with insect repellent :)
