• There are a few species of mosquito that don't need to drink blood in order to lay eggs.
• My insurance paid for almost 90% of my hospital stay!!  (Hopefully there isn't some ancillary bill that comes in a few days from now to spoil my mood.)
• UN predictions for world population in the year 2100 range from between 5.5 billion and 14 billion.  (Note that the 5.5 billion is 1.5 billion lower than today, so that would indicate some sort of disaster should that end up being the case.)
