The Meow from Above

And now for the parachuting cat story.
In southeast Asia (I am inclined to say the Bangladesh area, but then again I confute Tibet and Nepal, so don't trust me on my geographical accuracy), malaria was highly prevalent and also widely considered to be a bad idea. So DDT (the wonder drug) was brought in and sprayed liberally EVERYWHERE. And malaria pretty much disappeared, which is good.
But everyone in this area has thatched roofs. In these thatched roofs are wasps that build their nests there and eat all of the other bugs that would otherwise be eating the thatch. The DDT killed all of the wasps and the other bugs went on munching until all of the thatch roofs started collapsing into the houses, carrying the bugs with them. The geckos that live in the houses (in order to keep the bugs out) were then treated to an enormous feast of DDT laced insects. The DDT slowed the geckos down enough so that the local cats were able to catch them, and the DDT in the geckos killed all of the cats. The abundance of dead cats lying about in the streets actually led to an outbreak of the PLAGUE. I'm really not kidding.
So the UN looks at this situation, scratches their collective head and says, "Huh. I really thought that DDT stuff was going to help. Now what do we do?" Their solution? Parachute in more cats.
I really like the UN.
