Eichborn Fliegenbanner A company at a German trade show has attached tiny banner advertisements to flies and set them loose on unsuspecting visitors, in a bizarre yet effective marketing stunt. There's a short video at the link. Seriously? Flies??!?! I don't know what they were actually advertising for, but wouldn't it have been more appealing to use butterflies?

Total Recall on a Fly? Using genetically engineered fruit flies and laser beams, researchers have found a way to embed false, fearful memories in the flies. Let me emphasize this point: genetically engineered flies. And they are zapping them with lasers in order to modify their behavior and their memory. The Fly revolt will be coming soon. And they will have learned the value of flag bearers, thanks to those Germans.
