Weird Science


Alright, I'm just gonna cut to the chase with this one. I microwaved a fly.

Not on purpose, y'all (for those of you having the frog post flashbacks). I didn't know it was in there until I opened the door. It was still alive and flew off, but I can only describe the way it flew off by likening this to a drunk trying to walk with a purpose.


I don't know if I should be on the look-out for a "super-fly". I did have a genetics lab many, many years ago where I worked solely with fruit flies- I just can't remember how long the molting stages are and when to expect progeny, but I'm thinking 8-9 days sounds familiar...


So in a little over a week, if I happen to wake up to flies pouring themselves breakfast at my kitchen table- or better yet a whole crew of them mopping my floor, I'll let y'all know.

If you can get some mutant flies to mop your floor you would have a major winfall... I would pay BIG money to have some of those.

1) I forgot I had changed my layout on my blog so I was completely confused by your pink phone comment :) But I would love a pink phone.

2) You freaking crack me up!

3) PLEASE do the NaBLoPoMo, it would keep me motivated and entertained through the "holiday" season.

You are a funny girl
