I get everyone on this toothbrush, I literally force it on people. They have a flexible rubber one too.

You’re a sadist like I’ve never seen before. Why would you do this to yourself? Get a smaller coffee maker or one of these

before the day ends, trap some flies:

>Make a trap from a plastic bottle.

> One of the most effective homemade fly traps is made using a simple plastic water bottle. Unscrew and remove the cap, then use scissors to pierce the plastic and cut off the top quarter of the bottle. Fill the bottom part of the bottle with a quarter cup (60 mL) of sugar, a quarter cup (60 mL) of water, and a couple of drops of blue food colouring. The blue colour helps to attract flies, but most colours or no colours will attract flies as long as it isn't yellow. Yellow is found to be the only repellent colour for flies. [1]. Alternatively, a little water mixed with dish soap and a few drops of apple cider vinegar will also attract flies. Take the top quarter of the bottle, turn it upside down and rest it on top of the other part of the bottle to form a funnel. The flies will be able to crawl into the bottle, but will find it much harder to find their way out. Place the fly trap in a sunny spot that is frequented by flies and wait for them to collect inside the bottle.

Now enclose the fly catching device in a resealable bag and refrigerate it for a couple hours. Then, take it out - the flies should be lethargic. This is the opportune time. Take some glue and apply it to your drone, then gently set the flies in the glue. Congratulations, you have flied a drone.*

*disclaimer: flies are just trying to survive just like you, don't actually do this, it ruins the fly's day and makes them late for work and then their families will wonder where they are, and after enough time they'll have to call the FlyBI and file a missing Fly-son report, and they'll come to your house and question you and if they spot your fly entrapment device, well then you're under arrest buddy, so in other words don't actually do this unless you're a monster.

Here's the one I ordered - there's more out there :)

Back in 2012, and I remember the year because that's the year I started college, we had an incredibly wet summer. Rainfall records were broken everywhere, there was mild flooding, and so on. The garden slugs were out in force. They literally lined the roads so thickly that you had to walk a foot inwards if you were to avoid stepping on them. I remember that one time I spent a couple of hours watching slugs in the backyard and counted into the hundreds. I've never seen so many slugs in my life.

Now that I'm living in a much drier area, it's been at least two years since I've seen a slug or snail. I'm hoping that will change when I move next summer -- I actually really enjoy them. I know they're pests, but they're also incredibly interesting. Slugs are what got me into (casual) biology.

If you're interested in learning more about them, check out <em>The Secret Life of Slugs and Snails</em> by George Gordon. It's a light and small read, but good! Gordon also includes recipes for eating slugs and snails, and has another book advocating insect farming for food purposes. He's very convincing. One tidbit I tell a whole lot of people is a study he cites at the University of Nigeria in which a researcher gave people beef pies and slug pies without saying what was in them, and asked for a blind preference. Most people actually preferred the slug pies!

This might be a way to see a snail, if you don't mind having it boiled first. Go to a fancy restaurant, preferably a French one (though my town doesn't have a French place and you can only get escargot at the Italian place). It's not as bad as you'd think -- they're basically the mushrooms of the animal kingdom. Very similar. Goes well with that tasty yellow sauce they were served in (not hollandaise).

Well if you still can't find your can opener, you should get one of these. They're absolutely magical.
