Subject: 94'th update on fly longevity experiments

    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.

Run #92                               Percent Survival on Day
