He's saying- Time (noun) flies (verb) like (prep; in the manner of) an arrow (o.p.) Fruit flies (noun; Drosophilae Melanogaster) like (verb; enjoy) a banana (d.o.) that is: Time does fly in the manner of an arrow; Drosophilae enjoy a banana. Only that's not funny. So please, even though it's cool, don't draw a banana behind an airplane. -rick (no, i can't pronounce Melanogaster) -- --rick
