Feh. We get them here in NY to varying degrees every year. Usually late Oct/early Nov, when there is a warm day, they swarm all the white parts of the house. And then when it gets cold they move into the walls. I have a few flying around the house ATM, because it hit 70F on Friday.

In our house it was the women, not the men who loved watching the Benny Hill show. I think the thing that hooked my mom, my sister and I was the episode where he did the poem about a bar, and in the middle of the poem spoke about a one eyed cat only to discover he was looking at the wrong end. To this day I couldn't tell you what the rest of the poem was about because we just lost it!

Clearly, gravity is an option for the short guy in the Morning of Owl group.
