== Assfly ==
[[Image:Christo Surrounded Islands 1983.jpg|thumb|right|In May 1983, Christo and Jeanne-Claude surrounded 11 islands in Miami's Biscayne Bay with 6.5 million square feet of pink woven polypropylene fabric.]]
The [[User:Aschlafly|Assfly]] is a breed of fly that is thought to have [[Evolution|devolved]] from [[Human|Homo sapiens]] sometime in the early 1960s, roughly one thousand nine hundred and sixty years after [[Jesus|this guy]] was imagined as the result of an ice-cream [[John_McCain|headache]].
Assflies are renowned for their disturbing habit of excreting large amounts of [[User_talk:Aschlafly|faecal matter]]. After defecation, the Assfly will generally roll around in this matter in order to spread it as far as possible. [[Humanity|Select groups]] are conflicted over this practice, torn between amusement and bewilderment that any animal would openly display such foolish behavior, instead of using more [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Paper&oldid=552163 practical methods] of dealing with the faeces.
Many strange traits are associated with Assflies, which serve to highlight the social and political ineptitude of the insect. Examples of these traits include:
* Beliefs in non-existent super beings.
* Being born of a politically backward matriarch.
* Homosexual siblings.
* Unwillingness to accept facts conflicting with its own beliefs, no matter how much proof is offered (known as "[[La_la_la,_I_Can't_Hear_You|La la la, I can't hear you!]]" disorder).
* Alerting the FBI that crimes are being committed, when they in fact are not.
* [[Deceit|Deceitfully]] attempting to hide all evidence that the above behavior exists.
Assfly infestation is very serious, and can lead to [[John_McCain|mental problems]] in those who are in contact with the insect. It is strongly advised to keep children as far away as possible.
