Sorry, wouldn't work with Cypriots... they'd argue about who got to sit on which wing, how much of the wing each community is entitled to, when to start flapping and which direction they should head in... ;)

Quote: For we see that while flies think a lot alike, have a great deal in common, share many of the same hopes and dreams, they never act in concert, as a team, with regard for the worth of other, neighboring flies until forced to by grim circumstance - as, for example, when they are harnessed to fly and either first experience the exhilaration of high-altitude cooperation or die

The guy who wrote this obviously has some screw loose.

not to mention that the British would claim some right as the match was from a British Tree. Then the US would try to get involved by supplying flies that carry boms. Then there would be the Greeve Vs Turkey debate whos land the plane is flying in :roll:

My cousins tried this once, but it didnt work even with match sticks. They seemed to be too heavy for the flies. So we added more flies but still it didnt work. It was messy and we got glue everywhere.

we didnt hurt the flies, we let them go afterwards. I think one of them lost a wing or two.
