		<description>If there is some social or scientific reason why this experiment took place, I fail to see it.  The possible exception is that all knowledge is good as well as curiosity, however my two cents is that if the same scientists went anywhere near me with their lasers, and so forth, that they would be singing two octaves higher.  See, I could exercise my own scientific curiosity, but the poor fruit fly could not.</description>

		<description>You know, when I contemplate the, ahem, middle member, that&#039;s the first thing I think of.  Lasers.  Fire one at it to improve it!  Yeah!

I&#039;m surprised the fruit flies tried after such treatment.  Oh the shame!  Oh the discomfort!  Nurse!!</description>

		<description>When I read the title of this article, I laughed and laughed.

Oh, that poor fruit fly. What was his name? Perhaps we can have him over for dinner.  Or maybe send him some flowers.</description>
