I must get out more!!
Discussion
Just sitting here contemplating whether to have the day in the shed, or clear out the loft, when a fly just flew past........
And that got me thinking.......
How long can a fly stay airborne before it drops with exhaustion?
Then i thought up a experiment where you put a fly in a perspex box, and have moving objects on the outside to deter it landing.
Drawbacks i can see are the variables that you dont know. How long has it been flying prior to the test, how old,give it a good nights rest etc etc
And NO i am not going to find out, but i bet someone, somewhere has!!!

When it stops flying does it become a Walk?
If it stops from flying then surely it becomes a Sit. Or a Lie? That is, if a fly can lie. And doesn't simply die. In which case we'd have to say Bye. And try not to Cry. Perhaps just Sigh. And ask ourselves Why. That Fly was quite a Guy, aye.
Get out more, you say? Hmmm, note to self....
