This is a normal post Oh. My. Firkin. God.
I heard about this kind of stunt ages ago and couldn't find any videos to prove it! The only difference was I'd heard of it done with a balsa wood plane and four flies spread out along the wings like a tiny B-17 Flying Fortress.
Have a click, you've made my day!

This is a normal post Especially considering
birds can feel pain and insects can't.

This is a normal post insects have nerve cells. they can feel pain
not that i care much for the little fuckers. Growing up in australia i've killed enough flies to make a buddhist weep

This is a normal post no they don't
They have nerves which will make them aware of adverse situations, but they don't feel pain. More importantly, they don't have an advanced neural system to evoke a stress response. So in all honesty it wouldn't make that much difference.

This is a normal post I love how you can just say "no they dont", im pretty sure that hitler used a similar statement during WW2....
inreference to the pain a certain minority felt that he was trying to exterminate.

I dont care for insects either but I bet they do feel pain, just because they maybe don't perceive it as we do doesn't prove your argument and neither does a degree in Zoology.

This is a normal post comparing someone who says fles dont feel pain
to hitler, is a bit of a stretch.

Bit broad to be spouting off on pain responses in insects, isn't it?


I'd want to hear from an entomologist, personally...

This is a normal post It's good because
it can still fly, in spite of the extra payload. He's effectively crippling the fly and yet it still performs. This is like strapping a rucksack full of bricks to your dog and seeing if it can still make it across the lawn.

This is a normal post surely
this is completely pointless, flies can already fly, that's why they are flies, attaching wings and then being astounded when it flies seems rather silly.
