Would it be possible to tame a fly?

1) this is only possible if you are the 'Lord of the Flies'

2) a generic 'there are no flies on you' comment

There is one in my room, it's been cohabitating with me for about 3 days now, i was wondering if i would be able to tame it and teach it to do loop the loops and things like that. Anyone know if anyones ever managed to tame a fly?

The ones that actually use live flea's well they aren't trained as such they've been tied up and forced into doing the tricks through the diabolical schemes of their masters.

What might these diabolical schemes be, are they sex slaves?

Train them to fly in formation. It would be like having your very own red arrows display in your room.

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

This. I leave them on the strings & push the button until it starts to smoke, just to make sure its dead.

Yep, kill it with fire!

I'm pretty sure some of you are confusing tame with maim

maiming leads to killing after about 3 days
