Good to see that former Vancouver Scrum proprietor Ian King is back at it, this time with a story on David Suzuki's past life chasing flies and his current feelings re: America.

Question is, given that Suzuki's claim to fame in the real (ie. pre-media) science world was the development of temperature sensitive gene mutations in the fruit fly D. Melanogaster, does this mean that the no longer icy polar caps are soon to be overrun with red-eyed, codpiece-wearing, pretzel-sucking fruit flies?
