I'm almost tempted to try this. I need some flies though.

I bet it would. All I need to do is catch some flies, which I have no idea how to do.

Inhumane, but entertaining.

Unfortunately, these things only ever last for about an hour, then the engines drow dead.

It's not inhumane, at least the flies are now given a purpose! :D

I am very tempted to build one of those when classes start next week, and release it in one of my engineering class lectures. The only problem is finding flies around here. Everything is so clean, I haven't seen a fly all summer.

Corner them in a window. When I was a kid I used to catch flies to feed to a pet anole I had.

My dad taught me how to do this. It actually works.

Might work better with dragonflies. Bigger wing-spans.


You might also go to a hell where you get glued to a giant popsicle stick and forced to flap your arms like a madman, but you roll the dice, you take your chances.

Inhumane? I guess topics like this makes spotting PETA wanna-bes easy. If I did this, the flies can be happy their guts are still on the inside of their body.
Not bad

If you cant find flies then make a bigger balsa wood frame and glue hummingbirds to it.

Dude, that's just evil. You can take the word 'Not' out of your name now.
