My dream machine (at least when it's bothering me)

I can't believe it. When I was young I've always wished I had this superpower - where I could generate this spherical force field that would suck all the mosquitoes from my house or neighbourhood into it. And I would slowly will the sphere smaller and smaller, killing them all! Ahahahahhaha!

Well, I still don't have this superpower, but I saw something in Boingboing today that reminded me of it, and that, my friends, is this remarkable device. It's a mosquito trap that supposedly kills up to 1,200 of these critters a night.

I certainly can appreciate this piece of art, as I'm currently being bitten by mosquitoes as I'm typing this.

Go figure.
