I can tame a fly, with my electric tennis racket type fly tamer

Their brains consist of one nerve tangled in a small knot, so my guess is no.

Are you on drugs?

I'm pretty certain you can't tame a flea.

Two finger nails, squeeze, and you have a tame flea

So train them into a Fly Army. And then unleash them upon your enemies.

Ants are the easiest insect you can train.

How do you explain Flea circuses then?

John Hammond: You know the first attraction I ever built when I came down south from Scotland? Was a Flea Circus, Petticoat Lane. Really quite wonderful. We had a wee trapeze, a roundabout - - a merry-go - - what you call it? A carousel - - and a seesaw. They all moved, motorized of course, but people would swear they could see the fleas. "I see the fleas, mummy! Can't you see the fleas?" Clown fleas, high wire fleas, fleas on parade...

It's a "look around you" episode about water.

But what is water? It's a difficult question because water is impossible to describe. One might ask the same about birds. What are birds? We just don't know.
