We were hotter than the Bahamas a few days ago. I know where I'd rather be. A couple of days ago it was really humid. Hot and sticky but not the kind that I like at all (interpret that how you will, you filthy people). You walked outside and suddenly you're covered with millions of little Thunderflies and eating them without meaning to. Mmmmm, the extra protein! Speaking of...
During the month of May on Lake Victoria in Tanzania, a cloud of freshly hatched flies (or midges) rises from the water in clouds so dense that from a distance it looks like bellowing clouds of smoke. When great hosts of these flies are blown towards land by the wind, they are swept off the bushes and rocks by the Sesse Islanders or caught against mats hung up for the purpose; they are then compressed into oily cakes, roasted, and eaten.
Delicious!
