Subject: 120'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 120'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 23.5 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 100 days.
    In this run, cooked beans were blended with the water, which was added
to the fly food. It appeared that the flies did not care for these beans.
