        This is the 94'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
    temperature was 20.6 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
    the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 132 days.
        Not much of interest this run, unless you count diet pepsi. It is
    possible that the aspartame in this product might be slightly toxic at
    high enough dosages.
