That has gone clear over my head (not just the flies).
Even Prof. Google could not help me.

I therefore agree (the default position to avoid looking stupid).

Another reason to come to NZ rather than Oz!
The NZ flies (like the birds) have not evolved to deal with mammals and
are certainly the slowest and most easily swattable I've encountered.

I have only read one of his books some time back and was not particularly impressed. But I know that he has a lot of fans.

Agreed, agreed and agreed.

Perhaps a short winter break in the UK might be most efficacious.

I was very amused reading 'A Short History of Nearly Everything', but slightly disappointed reading a next book by him.
