    OK I am dumb, I just updated my hosts file with this

    127.0.0.1 www.videocodezone.com
    127.0.0.1 videocodezone.com

    I believe that is where most of the wmv music videos come form on myspace.

    Looking for hightech answers and it turns out the old school hosts file does the trick, no more annoying sounds.

    "...Manaus, ants and termites form about 30 percent of animal biomass and all the social insects together are 80 percent of total insect biomass (Fittkau and Klinge, 1973)...."

    Well you had the right number, but wrong clause.

    It was 80% of all all insect biomass.

    Only 30% of all animal biomass,

    And even less if you were to include plant mass.
