Flash Frozen Fly
A large fly snuck into the house and was buzzing around in my office. It was too clever to land for more than a moment. I've never mastered the Ninja move of snatching a fly out of the air so I looked around for something else to use. I spotted a can of compressed air. Inverting the can and aiming the spray at the fly caused it to drop to the floor, flash frozen. I put it outside and a few moments later it flew away. Apparently flies (and bees) can survive being frozen as long as it's not too cold or for too long.
