The Conclusion

[moty22]

A Scientist put a fly on his bench and pulled out its legs. He ordered the fly: "fly!" and the fly flew away.
The scientist wrote in his report: a fly without legs can fly.
The scientist took that fly pulled its wings out and ordered it twice to fly. The fly didn't move at all.
The scientist wrote down in his report: a fly with no legs and no wings loses its hearing.

I've reached the wrong conclusion many times.

Have you ever reached the wrong conclusion?

The essence of the Scientific Method.

This is why a real scientist require other scientist to redo the test using other methods.

This is why a real scientist require other scientist to redo the test using other methods.

If the other method by the other scientist will be to offer the fly sugar for checking if it can fly, then he will put in his report that the fly loses its appetite.

Assuming flies have ears ?

Assuming flies have ears ?

It's a good chance they do, the fly responded to the first order to fly.

Time to read the Datasheet on flies ... apparently version 1 as per natures spec was designed to listen through hairs on its legs... so the insect in your story could not have been a fly !

Finding the cruelty to flies quite distressing here...

Are conclusions and assumptions the same??? If so .. Yes!!!

If the scientist got it wrong identifying the insect it is quite humiliating.

Reputable scientist never assumes, always concludes. Don't try to find a way out of your wrong conclusions.
You are the first one to admit, I'll give that.

A fly without wings is called "a walker". Lame from me. Tired now.

Till next time.

Nah ! A fly without wings is called a zip !

 

[Tony Stewart]

Maybe the other fly was just being passive aggressive and defying orders.

 

[Musicmanager]

Female then !

'Zip' is a very pretty name. I think if flies knew that they would give up their wings.
Whether it's 'zip' or 'walker' it is important that you and tv know that there are scientists in your area experimenting on flies.

I see your impressive broad knowledge even extend to 'fly psychiatry'.

 

[granddad]

I don't accept it was a fly.... and then to catch it again to de wing it .... come on.

 

[Ian Rogers]

Starting to get worried about this thread...... Doesn't seem to be flying in the right direction!

I'm sure the topic isn't what the OP had originally had in mind...

When you're driving along the motorway and a fly hits the windscreen what goes through his mind ?
