They leave landing on such greasy substances to the butterflies.

They only do it when you're not looking.

Maybe it's because it's sticky, but not sticky enough to trap the fly. The fly finds it unpleasant and quickly departs.

My Aunty Evelyn's butter probably could trap flies.

I *have* seen flies landing on butter, and strolling around on it. It fairly takes your appetite away.

Are you sure it was butter?, maybe it was margarine.
Some are claiming that margarine is a molecule or so away from being plastic, maybe the fly knows betters.

I asked our resident Einstein/computer wiz/VCR programmer ( my four year old grand daughter ) and she said .."how would a fly stick to the wall if its little feets were all gooped up with butter”? So… there ya go………..I..I feel..…so small….

Why is there air? Because earth's magnetic field combined with its gravitational field is sufficient that solar winds don't blow it away.

According to Bill Cosby the phys ed major, we have air to inflate basket and volley balls:

His wife was a philosophy major and was wandering around the house talking out loud trying to figure that question out, among others. (Don't laugh, this LP was an integral part of my childhood. (Actually, Bill is rather funny and you should laugh. Never mind.))

"And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench."
