That's fuckin' disgusting.
You should probably start a thread about it and decide what course of action to take based on the majority opinion of a bunch of bored Prince fans. 
Good luck.  oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

March fly bites hurt, they're usually easy to swat though, they are really slow, I used to kill stacks of them on the beach during my childhood summers ....  | |

 It was a girl fly!!!!
March flies (Tabanids) have two large prominent eyes and are much larger and robust than stable flies; they have a shorter life than stable flies and an adult lives only 3-4 weeks. Although they are a major pest of livestock, several species will bite people. It is only the females that seek blood meals; the males feed on nectar and plant juices. Female tabanids are armed with two large blade-like mouthparts, that are used to pierce and slash skin. This inflicts a painful wound and produces a large puncture site that will continue to ooze blood long after the mouthparts are extracted. As the blood flows, the flies lap the blood to engorgement, unless disturbed. It has been estimated that some animals can loose up to 300ml of blood a day due to attack by these flies, resulting in serious blood loss. Adult tabanids are cosmopolitan but are more abundant in moist forests and woodlands. After mating, the females disperse, travelling many kilometres in search of blood meals. Tabanids are pests throughout summer and are a continual nuisance at outdoor activities, particularly near water. http://medent.usyd.edu.au...0flies.htm [Edited 5/2/06 6:17am] | |
