Holy shit thats hilarious
Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care
Dude, that little F-52 isn't flying.
"These are crazy times Mr Hatter, crazy times. Crazy like Buddha! Muwahaha!"
"Sit back and watch the happy flies enjoying the plane! None of them will have experienced anything like this before!"
yeah, no shit.
Anyone else even a teeny bit disturbed by this? Or am I just such bleeding heart that I'm missing the fun of freezing/unfreezing/gluing flies? hmmmm.

I shoot unsuspecting waterfowl as they land looking for food. And this disturbs me.Originally posted by watersnowdirt

Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.
I froze and tied up bumble bee one time. Then he attacked me so I dropped the string. He flew away with the string still attachted. I can just picture his fellow bee's when he returned to the hive "WTF HAPPENED TO YOU DONNY!?!".
hmmm, not the slightest bit disturbed. Works with bumble bees and dental floss too, like a kite.
"How would you like it if someone froze you and did stupid things with you?"

Edit: beat to the punch on the bumble bee I guess.

Rev - at least you eat the birds after you've shot them. People who make planes from flies should have to eat them when they're done with their joyride.

... not really ... seems to be quite mundane considering what we used to do to flies in genetics labs. Oh, those poor Drosophila melanogastar (? - it's been a few years)Originally posted by watersnowdirt

Dood, I used to freeze a few thousand flies at a time in liquid N2, then toss them into a strainer and shake em around. The heads snap off and fall through. Collect the heads and extract head-specific RNA to make brain cDNA libraries!Originally posted by road trip

Pretty cool, huh? (No pun intended)

It is amazing the things you can do with those little fruity buggers!
The fly-heads (scientists who study D. melanogaster) are an interesting group as well. Gotta love the names of some of those mutants: Bride of Sevenless, Dunce, Bubblegum, Shaker a GoGo, Fruity, Sonic Hedge Hog, etc.Originally posted by road trip

That's significantly less disturbing. You're killing them quickly and then doing something scientific. It isn't completly based on fucking with them for your own personal entertainment.Originally posted by Viva

Save the flies!

Yes, exactly! I'll pick up some flypaper on the way home from work.
We would anesthetize them first with ether. I used to get ether headaches doing that shit.Originally posted by altagirl

we'd knock ours out with CO2... But then they'd always manage to wake up as we were looking at them under the microscope. Which was kind of creepy. And the sketchy guy next to me would go on a tangent about freeing them, and let all the flys go, and the lab would be full of fruit flys. Oh, good times.
