Scientists are not only using high-resolution, high-speed imaging technology to figure out how The Fly manages to outwit us all despite the obvious formidableness of our rolled-up newspapers: they hope to utilize groundbreaking methods in entomological psychology to figure out why that tiny Fly feels it's necessary to escape Death's scythe.

F**k humanity...save the fly!
P.S. I especially like how these "scientists" claim that they are doing this research so people will appreciate the complexity of the fly's atomic-sized brain and double-think killing them...and then teach us the swiftest way to kill them. Nize!

I guess the flies are screwed now that the eggheads of CalTech are focused on killing them.
The ironies of life. Soon they'll be trying to figure out how to eradicate rats and cockroaches without thinking that it is probably us who need to be eradicated...
Michael Dickinson studies animal locomotion, and is apparently quite good at it. No need to be too hard on him. I doubt very much that the aim his study referred to in The Times article is to improve fly swatting efficiency. Blame Mark Henderson, The Times Science Editor, for making it seem that way. The original article (or what I can gather from the abstract) seems fascinating! We humans should be indebted to the diminutive Drosophila.
look who cant stay away
nerd (patrice).
:-p (geisha).
@ Chxta... my sentiment exactly - lol
