I haven't done a statistical survey, yet, I'm generally in too much of a hurry to try to get back to sleep, so I figured I would call on the vastly broader expertise of Dave's posters. Often when I swat a mosquito on the ceiling it just disappears. Don't know whether I killed him or he just fell down or blew away from the air current generated by the fly swatter. But then 20 minutes later there is a mosquito buzzing at my ear again, and I can't help but wonder whether it is the same one, as I had presumed that I had already killed all the other mosquitoes in the apartment. And it sure sounded the same as the one I had just tried to kill. So I get wondering whether the concave side is better at trapping the mosquito as the fly swatter approaches, and the convex side makes it too easy for the mosquito to slip away, or whether the concave side generates too much air flow as the swiftly moving fly swatter in my expert hands rapidly closes in on the doomed, or nearly doomed, mosquito, and the convex side might be a bit more stealthy? And next thing you know, there is no more buzzing, but I am laying awake all night pondering this puzzle.

I hope you can see my dilemma. What do you think?

Oh, and how do you get those splats off the wallpaper?

Sprays. Douse your apartment in chemicals.

Flyswatters are flat on both sides. This topic is illogical.

Spray windex on a cloth. Wipe gently.

Not in Korea.

Look closely. When all else fails, use your eyes.
