After spraying a fly in the kitchen with window cleaner and it just took off as usual, I got to thinking that now that it's all nice and clean it can land on the dirty dishes for all I care, and whatever it does, can only make the situation better and the dishes cleaner.
Here's how this genetically
modified and highly trained house fly works:
1. This fly cannot reproduce and does not have the desire or capability to do so. It is born from a "queen fly" that cannot fly, which lays the eggs in an artificial and controlled environment.
2. Each cleaning fly craves to suck up and store blue glass-cleaner liquid in a special balloon-like organ under its belly, which it takes from a special artificial feeding station that plays fly music to its ears. It can then spray a small amount of this liquid before spreading it around the dishes with its front legs and antenna, as it currently does with muck on food or dishes, spreading diseases.
3. Now, you can enjoy the evening with a kitchen full of flies, knowing that by the end of the evening, all that is left for you to do is to rinse the dishes and wash the counter with water.
4. The newer version also moves its wings in "chromatic" frequencies, creating only humming sounds that are to scale and on tune.

Not sure about the genetics, but any way to get these things working is a big plus. |

//only humming sounds that are to scale and on tune//
This would be a reasonably easy experiment: glue tiny bits of extra weight to a fly's wing-tips to change the resonant flap frequency. It would almost certainly mess with the fly's ability to fly, but the buzz would change. |
