Video of “Stunt Flies”

The next installment in the Thoughts from the Sidelines Video Curiosities section is, once again, courtesy of the Japanese (who else?) and is well worth an airing.

There is always a raft of curious videos doing the rounds on the internet, but this is certainly one of the more curious on offer. Who would have thought that house flies were trainable? But this would appear to be the case, as this video shows a number of party tricks being performed the humble housefly, though to what end wholly eludes me.

It’s good to see that, even in these dark times of “The New World Order” the Japanese can still be relied on to bring such trivia to the forefront, and a smile to our faces.
