These two stories share a bit of a central theme, although their scenarios are vastly different.
The mortgage crisis in CA is leaving those poor millionaires mansionless, and while this may leave a tear in your eye for the once rich and famous, the real victim here is the properties who languish as their owners flounder. Enter the CA authorities who're using airplanes to survey the area for untended algae-green pools. These sites are mosquito breeding grounds, which raise fears about spreading West Nile Virus, so once identified local officals swing by and drop a bag of Gambusia affinis (mosquito fish) into the pool to eat up all those tasty larvae. The only trouble is that they're a bit of an invasive species and might cause some trouble if they managed to escape from their unsupervised concrete prisions.
Second, kids are using Google Earth and Facebook to find and coordinate pool crashings at strangers' houses. Apparently pool owners aren't particularly happy when they come home to find beer cans puke and drunk teenagers floating in their pools.
Now the average person might read both of these stories and find them amusing. I on the other hand am unique; I find them amusing and realize that they are the answer to each other's riddle. The ying to yang, the sour cream to potato, the pools-no-one-wants-to-use to the people-no-one-wants-in-a-pool. That's right, the authorities need to jump on Facebook and send these hooligans over to a foreclosed property or two. After a few days of hearty partying, those mosquito breeders will be so covered in vomit, beer and urine that no self respecting insect would dare lay its eggs there. Bam! Two birds, meet my incontrovertible logic stone. I'm like a public service guru or something.
