Incinerate the Bugs

With spring just around the corner, billions of insects, complete with antenna, legs, and stingers, are waking from their frosty winter slumber to torment unlucky passerbys in the afternoon sun. 

And along with the birds and the bees, mosquitos too are taking to the skies. Infernal buzzing blood suckers, parasites by the millions, spreading disease and itchy swollen bumps in their wake. 

But, according to an article on CNN.com, in spite of the seemingly infinite population of the mosquitos, scientists have developed the weapon of their demise. 

Developed like the Star Wars (the Strategic Defense Initiative during the Cold War) anti-missile program, the scientists developed a laser to effectively locate and cremate millions mosquitos on the spot.

Surprisingly enough, Bill Gates himself, the number one billionaire in the world, originally funded this project.

Not only will summers be more bearable, but the spread of malaria will be prevented as well (mosquitos being the number one carriers).

However, this new technology is basically promoting the mass genocide of the insect population, and I do not doubt that environmentalists will soon be yelling in protest against its eventual release to the public.

I am thinking this lock and zap laser could also eventually be used to combat alien terrorists, if they ever try to annihilate the Earth (assuming their technology cannot repel high frequency light beams). 

Until its release however, we can dream of frying mosquitos in the summer sun.
