quote:
Right before I try to smash the fly, who is sitting quietly on the table - eating his lunch, he reacts - as my hand is getting closer - and then he flies away.
The Fly is alerted to a sudden increase in air presure as your hand begins its downward track toward the fly. The Fly, with its 3rd grade education, expertly performs an evassive manuaver that would make any geometry teacher proud. Funny how such a small thing can do such an incredible thing as that.
(The Fly is now on the wall. I recommend a fly swatter. They approach without causing a large air disturbance.)
