Subject: 131'st update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 131'st update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 20.1 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 138 days.
    Tea leaves have generally been useful in the past. Here I take a look
at the effect of different types of tea. Overall black tea, both regular
and decaffinated seemed best.
