Why do flies fly in small circles around the centre of a room...

There are no straight lines in nature

Light, crystalline edges.
That's just off the top of my head (which isn't a straight line).

Doesn't travel in a straight line owing to the curve in the space/time continuum
I thought it was Moths that did this ... the flies in our house swoop and dive around the room with the sole intention of annoying mebelow the light?
Thank God for 'Raid'
“Jazz, isn’t that just a series of mistakes disguised as musical composition?”
Because they can't walk.
