"Just slay them all"

Amusing and interesting article from the WSJ - I'm waiting for Disney/Pixar to make the animated version. A mosquito hovers into view. Suddenly, it bursts into flame. A thin plume of smoke rises as the mosquito falls. At the bottom of the screen, the carcass smolders. Voice over dialog ensues:
John Ratzenberger: "Where's Spike?"
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "He got burned out."
A favorite quote in the article, "We'd be delighted if we destabilize the human-mosquito balance of power," says Jordin Kare. Maybe the Obama administration should keep some tabs on this.
