A. Nothing. You can't cross a scalar and a vector.
I see how a mountain climber's a "scaler" - but how's a mosquito a "vector"?

I'm sure I'm having a dense moment, but If I'm gonna use it, I need to understand it.... I already got a chuckle out of it (as I understand the math part) surrendering to my ignorance on the relation between a 'skeeter, and vector. :-D
