Once in awhile, certain questions arise that just bug me no end. I'll spend sleepless night after sleepless night pondering the answer. Sometimes there is an answer. Other times there are only more questions. So please help me figure this one out. I get grumpy when I don't get my sleep.<br /><br />"How does a fly Land on a ceiling?"

Re: Help me Sleep at night.

copied from some website:<br /><br />Prior to impact, the fly extends its forward legs over its head, makes contact, and uses the momentum it has gathered in flight to hoist the remainder of its body to the ceiling.<br /><br />Once the fly reunites all six feet on the ceiling, it keeps things dizzingly exciting, by gracefully tiptoing across the ceiling, securing itself by using sticky pads found under the two claws attached to each of its feet.

Same as it does on the floor, but upside down.<br /><br />But is it called landing if it is still up there?

I can see if the US accidently launches a nuke will the world retaliate?<br /><br />Is that comet close enough and big enough to end all life on earth?<br /><br />When I hit retirement will I be able to enjoy it or will I be a vegetable?<br /><br />But loosing sleep on the question of a fly on the ceiling? <br /><br />I dont envy you man. You must be real tired.

Could be worse.<br />You could be a dislexic angnostic insomniac.<br />Then you could lie awake all night and wonder if there really is a d-o-g.

See that? That's what keeps me up. First there's the amazing answer. But then come more questions. It's a vicious circle. Will it ever stop? Will I ever be sane again??? ;)

Re: Help me Sleep at night.

My wife, many years back, use to have sleepless nights, toss and turn etc etc.<br />It use to keep me awake too.<br />Then I decided on a solution.<br />I'd give her a gentle snack on the ar*e and say, "seeing your awake, just roll over here darl'and we'll have some fun".<br />She has never had that problem since, which I reckon is blo*dy typical....<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
