@vagina_museum We did breeding experiments on fruit flies (D. melanogaster) when I was in junior high school. We were supposed to euthanize them with ether (as opposed to, say, a flyswatter or a rolled-up newspaper) at the end of the experiment.

Ether not only failed to kill my fruit flies, but the little degenerates came crawling back for more. I may have single-handedly bred a new strain of drug-crazed ether-addicted (and ether-proof) fruit flies.

You’re welcome.
