 What to do...?

 


1. Kill a few Flies

2. Put them in the sun to dry for one hour.

3. Once they are dry, pick a pencil and paper... Let your  imagination flow.

Here are a few examples...



 
Makes me wonder, though: where does someone work that there are this many flies???

He's a scientist one who of course is detail-oriented, is bit of a jackass and has accumulated lots of important data.

I tell him:
---
Oh the pains of data management. I suggest you print all your data onto paper and store it in a safe!
---


He replies:
---
Let's see here...

80x60 characters per side, duplexed is ~10 kbytes per sheet for ASCII translation... So 500GB is only ~52 million sheets of paper, or just shy of 105,000 standard 500 sheet bundles. At ~3cm tall per bundle, that's a stack over 3km high. Of course, properly stacked, that would fit nicely in a decent sized moving truck...

Dude. I was joking.
