Psst! Wanna watch something that isn’t alive actually grow before your eyes? Vyacheslav Ivanov (Иванов Вячеслав) made a microscopic time-lapse video of snowflakes growing their six-pointed ice crystals. Very pretty! -via Boing Boing

I have a feeling this is not as weird as it seems. The idea is to get rid of ALL the flies, but at the same time, those responsible will not be punished if there are only one or two. So ...in the language of regulations, this ends up sounding silly.
