Roll up a newspaper.

Proceed to run around your house, flailing your said newspaper at fly. You will hit it, eventually. ;)

RPG.

Aim one second ahead of it's flight path. Guaranteed kill. There may be some collateral damage though...might take out a wall...or two...

Turn a lamp on that gets really really hot. I just did, and within 20 minutes, the fly couldn't resist, flew into it, I heard some buzzing noises, and that was it for the fly.

what do you do?
1) build balsa wood / tissue glider
2) trap fly in cup, cover with saran wrap with holes poked in.
3) put cup in fridgerator
4) wait
5) test glider and adjust, measure glide ratio
6) remove fly from cup when it has cool down enough to stop moving
7) super glue fly to nose of glider
8) wait for fly to warm to ambient temperature
9) remeasure glide ratio of plane
10) post results on ATOT

Do you know how bad burning fly smells? :D

Unfortunately, I do. I have this desk lamp with a glass shield over the bulb itself. One time, a fly managed to get caught between the shield and the bulb. Had to spray half a can of air freshener to kill the smell and remove the shield to get the (extremely crispy) fly out.

Use a broom or a rolled up newspaper/magazine to get the fly.

No offense, but I honestly thought that this was a Woodie-Tang (or however you spell his name wdaqnug) post. The title sounded exactly like those put up yesterday by him. (ie Spunky's trip to the zoo was cancelled)
