The weed is fake. It doesn't work. I have a friend who tried the Hawaiian Haze. He said it was like smoking dirt and it didn't do anything except make him feel nauseous. Save your money and buy real weed.
Gotcha. Thanks for the tip.

Moths. When it's light they hide in the dark. When it's dark they come up and go apeskip over lights.
What's up with moths? Why don't they just get up in the morning and have all the lights they want.

I had swine flu instead. I recommend the vaccine if you can get it.
Moths are stupid. God clearly wants them to die, if they're attracted to flames. Idiotic creatures.

Just a little bit mad
The explanations that I have heard are that moths navigate by the moon. Normally the moon is the only significant light source around, and thus they fly towards it. When you have a flame of light bulb, the moths fly towards it because they confuse it with the moon.
I'm not sure about this though, so don't quote me on it.

That does make sense, thanks. Reminds me of a factoid I heard somewhere that bees always know where the sun is and predict the path across the sky when 'explaining' the way to get to honey to other bees.
After a bit of googling: When a honeybee scout finds food, she uses two known tools to understand where it is. One is her solar compass, which lets her remember where things are in relation to the sun. The bee's ability to see polarized light lets her determine where the sun is regardless of whether it is obscured by clouds. The other tool is her internal clock, which lets her keep track of how far she has flown. Her internal clock also lets her determine of how much the sun moves during her journey. In other words, when she returns to the hive, she can tell her sisters exactly where the food is in relation to the current position of the sun, not the position of the sun when she found the food. As a bee matures, she also learns about how the sun's path across the sky changes during different seasons of the year and at different latitudes if her hive is moved. She can incorporate these changes into her measurements.
Much smarter than a moth. Moths! Pffft!

And no, we don't know better. We don't have more information to prevent such instances. We don't have better testing methods. Nope. Nuh-uh.

Oh, it should all be legal, but that is a discussion worth its own thread and therefore not worthy of discussion here.

Better yet: how many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman? None.
