Continuing along with my life and death theme, I just want to record that this morning when I was brushing my teeth I noticed a gnat swirling in the sink water. As I turned the water off I decided that if it didn't go down the drain then I would try to recover the gnat. Luckily it did not go down, I took a q-tip and gently picked it up from the sink, blew on it until it had dried enough and that's when I saw one little leg start wiggling. I nursed it a little more, gently moving it from the cotton, which would surely tie it up and onto a flat dry surface where it slowly started walking along. I have no idea if the wings will function, and I know that gnats don't live for very long, but this one just got an extended lease on life.
