Houseflies *have* been practically exterminated as compared to 1911. One hundred years ago, horses were still very much a part of the transportation infrastructure, and because of their leavings, flies were a constant and incredible nuisance.

They certainly had a thing for pneumatic tubes. Where did they imagine all these pneumatic tubes would fit? I have a mental picture of a landscape clogged with mass quantities of tubes of various sizes, all willy nilly. At the risk of exposing myself as a total nerd, a Harvey Birdman episode comes to mind. So does a series of tubes.
