Suicidal Fly

[Scar My Machine]

So last night I witnessed the strangest thing ever to happen in front of me. I was in my kitchen making a cup of alka seltzer cold and flu relief (the kind you put in water that dissolves) and there is this damn fly flying around me. Well, I'm not paying attention to the fly and just looking down at my cup. So I throw in the first tablet and before I know it, I see the fly zoom across in front of me and it goes right into my cup of now fizzy water.

I'm like whoa, what was that? And I look and see the fly floating in my cup.

I guess the damn thing had a cold or just wanted to end its life. LMAO!!!!

Bizarre.

Man, you know the world's gotten bad when insect's start offing themselves.

CO2 from the effervescence probably knocked the fly out, and it fell into the medicine.

Negative negative, the fly made a bee line right into the cup from my left side to the right side of me where the cup was. It was as if the fly was going after the tablet. And it was still very much conscience after landing in the water because it was attempting to swim in the fizzing water.

It happened so fast the fly was actually a blur zooming across my field of vision. I swear, it went after the tablet. Has anyone actually witnessed a fly go after anything before? I know I had never seen anything like it till last night. Usually, a fly will hover above food and wait or they'll slowly make their way towards something before landing.

This one followed right after the tablet that I had thrown into the cup. It didn't even wait or hover, it went right after the tablet that I threw into the water like it wanted the tablet.

Again, very bizarre.

spook and I witnessed a fly sacrifice itself to the "ray of God." The ray of God is a halogen floor lamp much resembling a tall brazier. So, I suppose it happens.
