    Hmmm. How much energy in a fly? What is the required fly density for proper operation?

    Sounds like a typical "ivory tower" waste of grant (er tax) money.

    So how long until they come out with a Pri that runs off sparrows? Can they teach it to catch them by itself? Do I have to toss it a couple of pigeons before a long trip? "Stay away Junior, that car bites." "Hey Buddy, don't park your Ford so close, my tank is a little low."

    Detroit eat your heart out...
