"To be a fly on the wall, a fly on the wall..."
Looks like the old saying is finally coming true.
Yes, soon you too can be a fly on the wall.
That is not to say you can shrink yourself to
miniature size, grow wings and giant buggy eyes and
annoy people by tirelessly zooming around their
heads (although I suppose that *would be* kinda fun
in selective instances) - but no, it's a lot more
high-tech than that: Meet the robot of tomorrow,
lovingly called
Microfly.
And while we're on the subject of robots: "Hey,
you're not supposed to run away! You're a robot,
for Chrissake!"
I guess "Gaak" was either tired of having people
rummage around in his intenstines,
or he got finally fed up with the diet of oily
fish and chips ...
