I like to take things literally if doing so can settle a question of "folk wisdom" or a conundrum. A couple of years ago my fifth-grader had to do a Science Project, so I bought six Fly Traps on eBay and we set out to test whether or not you can catch more flies with Honey than with Vinegar. I arranged the traps around the perimeter of a trampoline near a house, over small saucers containing: (1) Vinegar (2) Honey (3) Denatured Alcohol (4) Dead Bird (5) Dead Fish (6) Mammal Shit
We did prove that we could catch more flies (Houseflies anyhow) with Honey than with Vinegar, but we caught a lot more with Shit. Since then I have learned that there is a kind of fruit fly called a "Vinegar Fly", so I intend to go to a place where that kind of fly predominates and see if we can DISprove the hypothesis under those conditions. --- In LibertarianEnterprise@yahoogroups.com, "Gary F.
