xoB, who also found yesterday's image but got no credit for it (belated thanks), sends along this item from Technology Review. Harvard researchers have developed the world's first mechanical housefly. Quote:

:tinfoil: That is awesome - "Will it be available in time for christmas? I wanna fly it around my kids heads in the morning.

Let's see, we go from technology fighting natural pests to technology creating them. Perhaps the next logical step is for nature to fight our pests. Wouldn't it be funny (yet sad in terms of the wasted expense) for a mechanical insect spy to be slammed out of action by an animal's tail?

I think I saw several of those spying on my dog's poop.

What have you been feeding that dog... or is this a case of the government stirring up shit?

This is just what all the paranoid skitzos in the world need... oh yeah... "they have robot houseflies with cameras on them... and probably CHEMICALS TOO!!!" oh yeah... just what they fucking need... oh... wait....

So somebody woke up one morning, and said to themselves, "I don't think there are enough flies in the world. Let's make more."
We are getting new window installed in our house, and most of the world's fly population is in my house right now. I wonder how many of them are spying on me right now, and reporting my subversive behavior. |

That is exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this thread... maybe scientists are getting ready for when finally all flies die and bees and wasps...and they need to use robots to carry polen from flower to flower... |
