CEO: We need to cut costs.

Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.

CEO: I see. Who's that in the hallway?

Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.

CEO: Fire Greg.

Have you been considering accessing FlyBase using a script? PLEASE READ 'Best practices for getting bulk data from FlyBase: alternatives to web-scraping' before you start: http://flybase.org/commentaries/2024_08/ecitizenry.html

Using a script can overwhelm our server capacity and even crash FlyBase, making it unavailable to others. The above commentary details many alternatives to using a script to scrape FlyBase.

Tardigrades can enter a suspended state called cryptobiosis to survive extreme heat, cold, pressure or radiation. A new study of tardigrades preserved in amber suggests this ability evolved about 300 million years ago and let them survive the Permian extinction & isn't science fun?!?!?!?! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/tardigrade-fossils-reveal-when-water-bears-became-indestructible/
