Darmok and Jalad on the ocean

Remember that race of people who communicate entirely in metaphors derived from stories?

In that spirit: Walt, in his lab. Jesse, in said lab. Jesse and Walt, in the lab. The fly, still surviving.


I mean, seriously. How long can flies survive, why won't this one leave me and my laptop alone when I'm working, and is this fair when I'm not in the drug trade and haven't caused anyone's death that I know of?

Walt, the pizza delivered.

You know the poem "I heard a fly buzz when I died"? That was actually the same fly that had haunted Emily Dickinson's entire life. I swear those bloody things are immortal. *salutes you with the Aussie salute*

IT IS STILL THERE!

In related news, my town just took delivery of 140 tons of dung beetles! This is fantastic news as dung beetles eat the flies' main food source (cow poo) and this will mean fewer flies next summer. Maybe you should invest in some dung beetles?

How long can flies survive,

I according to wikipedia 24 days.

It could be worse. At least it doesn't want to eat you like a mosquito, and those live much longer too.
