    Dental Argentina = Dental nightmares

This site is full of talented people - please stop using it like some...

    Flying ants

    and talking of insects. I loved it to hear that Rosario had its own dragon-fly breeding centres to help keep the mosquito populations at reasonable levels. If its not just an urban myth I am seriously impressed!
