Jul 14, 2010 - I seen this information on daily planet and used it to figure out the fool proof way to swat a fly, with my new understanding of how flies react to the swat. Perhaps I will make a video detailing how to successfully swat a fly..

Aug 20, 2010 - Actually no you wouldn't. Granted flies are amazingly annoying but they are the garbage man of the animal world and take care of many wastes faster than they would go away on their own, They are such a huge part of decomposition that without them we would see a big change in the environment. Every insect and animal on the planet has a purpose.

Nov 11, 2010 - You're forgetting about adaptation and niches. If there is a void, it will be filled by something else. There is also a large amount of redundancy in that area.
rextuner03 Says:
Nov 11, 2010 - Yeah whatever I am not going to get into a lengthy discussion about flies and their existence. So good luck with that lol.

Dec 22, 2011 - They're studying how they escape the fly swatter all the time not the fact that they do escape it.

Jan 10, 2012 - Did I ever tell you I love flies? Because I do.
steven1lee Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - Why are people studying this??
dfhy67 Says:
Feb 25, 2012 - These assays are so far removed from reality that it is meaningless. Maybe a cool party trick to get a chick laid. No wonder most of this stuff never sees a journal with IF higher than JEB aka garbage.
