land on a ceiling? does it berrel-roll or back-flip?

Depends on which flight school they went to.

If I recall the slo-mo films correctly, it executes more of a barrel roll than a back-flip. Don't quote me on that.

The Straight Dope tells all. (It's always worth checking there first.)

Flys have brains that can spin around, so it always seems like they are the right way up. Lionel Richie wishes he'd known this when he made the video for "Dancing on the Ceiling"

So much for my memory banks. Time for a purge.
