That’s all for today kids. Tomorrow we will work on compound fractions and their role in global warming.

It seems cool and all that I would open up a packet of PopTarts and find two regular sized poptargs with an extra 1/4 poptart

I was excited at first, but the fact that the extra bit of poptart has an open and exposed end put me off eating it.

These are too cool. The things they think of.

Question

Hi, I’m having a mystery occuring here in my apartment in San Francisco, CA. For the past 4 days or so I seem to have been invaded by flies. They are much larger than what I would consider “common house flies”, with bodies close to half an inch long. They have red eyes and grey stripes running down their backs. They appear to fly quite slowly and are easily stunned but not easily killed. On the first day I noticed them I killed about 12, the following day another 9 or so. Today I have gotten about 5 or 6. I did
have my windows open for a time prior to this invasion but i have never had this problem in the past. I also cannot find where they are coming from, having not opened a window since I noticed them. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Answer

Hi. Those are sarcophagid flies, also known as “flesh flies“, and they breed in dead animals. Somewhere in or near your apartment (including the ventilation system) something must have died recently, and the flies are now reaching adulthood. They’ll stop shortly, since they can only feed on bodies in very specific stages of decay - this is the basis of using forensic entomology to determine how long a body
(human or otherwise) has been dead.

The question above wasn’t from me, but it was one of the many responses to my google of “big flies”. All of a sudden these damn things are popping around my office. I have killed at /least/ 15 of them this evening. I can’t figure out (yet) where they are coming from, but I definitely plan on tearing the office apart tomorrow. I will find out where they are coming from and I will set them on fire. I have a ton of Aqua-Net left over
from my potato gun, that should make a lovely flame thrower. Die you nasty little flying bugs. Die! Die! Die!

Only from me

You know how gum comes in those little bubble packs now? Yesterday I popped a piece out, and picked up the pack to
just grab the piece with my teeth. In doing so, I sliced my lip on the foil. It was a decent little slice so I grabbed
a papertowel and held it between my lips as I went about my business. After about 10 minutes I reached up and grabbed
the papertowl, which had dried to the cut /and/ (keyword there) the rest of my lips. As the papertowel came away from
my lip it removed with it a section of skin from the opposite side of my mouth! I now have a small razor on
the left side of my mouth and a nice chunk of skin missing from the swollen right side of my mouth.

Idiot are I

Check out this bit of oddness.

I had asked Kate to swing by my apartment complex and ask to see the available 3 bedroom ones available. She rang me
this morning and told me that they:

• Never showed mine.
• Said all 3 bedrooms available were new and had never been lived in.
• Showed her all available 3 bedroom apartments.

After she rang, I stopped by the apartment complex and asked how things were going. I was told they still had no
leads, but were still trying and they were trying hard since they were to get 100% commission on the leasing of
my apartment. I had asked if my apartment being a handicapped accessible apartment would affect the renting of it.
I was told no.

I decided, after talking with the office, that I would contact a lawyer on monday, since it was apparent (from Kate’s
visit) that they were not trying all that hard to rent my place out.

Not two hours later, I received a call from the rental office. I missed the call so I phoned back. I was told
someone had come in and signed a lease for my apartment.

Now, while I am glad I am no longer contractually obligated to pay over $1,100 a month for an apartment I am no
longer living in. I just find it odd how things played out today. The timing of it all is a bit suspect to me. I
am honestly not sure what to make of it all. I plan on contacting my old neighbor to see if they have seen anyone
already living in the apartment. *shrug*

weird, eh?

This is just too cool. This would make an awesome gift for grandparents.
