While absolutely unsightly, sometimes fly tape is necessary, especially in spots like porches and decks. Do you use it in your home?

DIY: Organic Fly Trap

CasaSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:00:13 PDT

If you don't feel like spending your endless Summer chasing flies around with a swatter, a fly trap may be more like it. I recently came across a DIY for making an organic fly trap, and since this season goes hand-in-hand with the little pests, I decided to summarize it for you. You should have most, if not all, of the supplies already in your home.

Supplies:

A two-liter soda bottle (used)
Sharp knife
A wire hanger
Match, lighter, or stove gas flame
Electric tape
Bait (like a small piece of meat or dog poo mixed with water!)

To hear the steps,

An Interview With Condoleezzza

GiggleSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:00:00 PST

A fly refuses to buzz out of the way while Condi talks some serious politics. The Secretary of State unsuccessfully swats at the fly again and again, but the little bugger's presence results in a much more engaging interview. I mean, inquiring minds want to know: where will the enemy critter land next?

You know that Gloria Steinem saying "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle?" Well, you'd think a fly would need one even less but apparently not! Look at that little sucker. This is real--the fly is alive! And check out Mr. Active Super Fly (otherwise known as Gerald) in the gallery below. Thanks Spluch & JPGMag!

It's About Time: 3 Steps Closer to Back to the Future II

Kelly Schwarze — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:45:31 PST

We've seen film magic turn into reality before - remember, the tablet was first seen on Star Trek! Now for those who daydreamed of a life as cool as Marty McFly's as a kid, your turn has come. During this week's New York Toy Fair, Mattel announced plans to produce the pink hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II.

OK, there's no actual air hovering that will occur, but it's a 1:1 replica that will glide over most surfaces and make whooshing noises. Mattel will take pre-orders from March 1-20 for the hoverboard, expected to ship in the 2012 holiday season. There's a bit of a catch: Mattel needs you to get your fellow superfans to pre-order the product to bring it to production. As they say, "Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don't receive the minimum orders, won't go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month."

It's up to you mini-McFlys to make the hoverboard a reality! The hoverboard, though, is just one of the products that can have you living like Marty; follow the break to see what else can get you Back to the Future.

GeekSugar — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 06:30:39 PDT

Ever wanted to fly your own personal plane without a pilot's licence? Well look no further than the FlyNano, a water-based personal flying machine that can take you up to 76 miles per hour and 1.8 miles high. The only catch? You have to stay above water - this thing doesn't "do" roads or dry land. So what do you think - is the FlyNano real or fake?

Prince Harry Visits With Vets and Preps For a Return to Afghanistan

Allie Merriam — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:41:25 PST

Prince Harry visited with fellow servicemen and women this morning while at the Royal Air Force's Honington base. Dressed in fatigues, Harry checked out equipment, like rifles and night vision systems, and said hello to veterans. The Prince has seen combat action himself, and is poised for a second tour of duty. Prince Harry will return to the front line in Afghanistan later this year with the Army Air Corps. He'll serve as an Apache helicopter pilot, having been trained to fly the choppers during a program in the United States last year. He must first, though, complete a predeployment training course. Harry has received high marks in his work so far, earning the distinction of "best copilot gunner" in his class. Harry's brother, Prince William, is now also serving his country. He's one week into a month-and-a-half-long stay in the Falkland Islands, where he's manning search and rescue helicopters.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took Vivienne and Knox to a screening of Lady and the Tramp at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre yesterday. It was the latest fun outing for Brad and Angelina after they treated Shiloh, Zahara, and Knox to Cirque du Soleil's OVO last Saturday. Brad's been fitting family time in between promotional duties for Moneyball, with his latest stop on CBS This Morning, where he chatted about the movie and how his children have impacted his work. Brad talked more about the film and his home life, including Maddox's love of flying lessons, last week when he taped an episode of Inside the Actors Studio, which will air this Friday.
