I got a vial of fruit flies from my AP Biology teacher for Christmas, lol. Gotta observe them for two weeks and then we're going to study genetics by breeding them.

Bloody hell! I've bred some pretty small women, and felt inadequate, but I think that even I would rupture a fruit fly.
 
Lol danger and lisa. Good to see you Danger, how's life?

I'm still in it; that's my primary concern. A job would be nice, but I can hold out for a month or so. (Longer if necessary, but I don't want my wife supporting me.)
 
So when I saw the title of the thread I thought "theory devellopment"? I've never seen fruit flying except after bad theatre plays.
 
I don't think so Monique, for now we're just keeping them over break so they don't freeze to death at school and so they can reproduce. Then after break we're going to start the crosses, I think.
