So, two wildly differing views on...
how the answers should be listed. I guess I'll have to give it some careful consideration.

Fortunately, mosquitos here...
do not carry Malaria ... which, of course, is the deadliest plague of the third world.
Also, I should have explained the chipmunk part further ... rodents very, very rarely carry rabies. (And, yes, that includes rats.) The primary carriers in the U.S. are (in order) bats, racoons, skunks, foxes and stray dogs.

A suggestion
post the questions in one days post and the answers in the next days.

I can never remember the questions by the time
I get to the answers. It's not your fault, my brain is full. I can't think too hard. Mosquitos- that little tiny whining drives me crazy at night. Take care

Out of all these, the most common threat that affects ordinary people like us is the mosquito. Especially in the summer months.

My knowledge may be "vast", Layla ...
but, it's also unbelievably "shallow". I essentially know a little bit about everything, and a great deal about nothing.

I have...
but, in another blog (and, for a slightly different reason). It's really not that interesting a story, though.

You right click on a link...

I'll consider it, Quirky.
Thanks for giving me your permission to say "no", though. I really appreciate that!
(Only joking!)
BTW, technically, you could just "open the comments link in another window".

Thank you very much, jasonkelliott!
I am toying with the notion of having "The Death Quiz" be a regular part of the rotation (alongside "By The Numbers" and a new concept I just thought of), so, we'll see ...

Most people choose "Fugu" ...
(especially those who dine at Japanese restaurants alot). When prepared properly, the fish is a wonderful delicacy. When prepared
improperly, however ... the fish is fatal to humans.
