Why oh why do they fly? Maybe because they adapted and could move to the smell faster. “Sense of smell was an adaptation that appeared when insects developed ability to fly”

So I guess the question would be, what came first the ability to fly or the ability to smell? More work to be done, now if they could only get rid of the flies.
Well they say nothing is for certain except death and taxes and I’m beginning to understand that this might be true. Researchers are now saying that the “Black Death was not spread by rat fleas” but may have been more of an airborne issue.
They are doing research on bodies, primarily the teeth of about 25 human remains from the London area.
According to scientists working at Public Health England in Porton Down, for any plague to spread at such a pace it must have got into the lungs of victims who were malnourished and then been spread by coughs and sneezes. It was therefore a pneumonic plague rather than a bubonic plague.
The theory is that it would be almost impossible to spread that quickly unless it was airborne. So further testing continues on this dreaded killer of man.
This whole mess with the economy continues to add woe after woe to those you can’t or won’t follow good rules. Now if you can’t afford it then the City has to do something (remember when they cut the ranks of sanitation workers), don’t get me wrong if money is tight you have to cut things. Can’t cut Police or the Fire Departments, or the water department – well you get the picture.
Hey, you talkin to me?
