Terribly close, Gerald, but cassandra wins the kewpie doll.

BTW, cassandra, you might care to tell the punters what 'ailurophobia' is.

Your question has me LOLing Cassandra, its so very dark.   And a bit nerdy too, in the sense that it reveals you know a bit more that expected about mosquitoes.  I assume a limp is some kind of mosquito?  And is the male a reference to the mosquitoes doing the draining, or the human being drained?
What's the answer?  I want to know now!!

No such thing as a c..ppy question, cassandra. Although I've seen some answers here that could fit into that category. Now, please state the answer and prepare a question!

It would take 1,200,000 (or 1.120.000 varying size) mosquitoes, each sucking once, to completely drain the average human (male) of blood. (a musquito produces some chemical that stops it from sucking when its full) And its only the females who suck blood apparently.

Well, I hope you do feel better now Natnnat, and please arrange for a next question?

Hello dear Galvo and cassandra, I am well and happy, I sat up and watched a Bollywood movie just then on SBS and now I'm all loved up.  I had to give Gregory many kisses, he said "whats all this??" and I sang wobbly songs to the cats who looked at me strangely.
In case anyone is expecting a question from me, which might be the case, then I refer you to Galvo's question which remains current and reads "What was the name of the play President Lincoln attended at Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865? "

I believe the Mona Lisa was painted with eyebrows, they just eroded over time.

Did some searching and it seems I was incorrect, the eyebrows were removed by over cleaning through the years.

that's not the answer I was looking for, but it sounds plausible, the answer I had was, that it was the fashion at the time. Its a while a go though, we are  probably all right. OTU Sugarbear
