How does a fly land on the ceiling?

If a fly is flying straight how does it land on the ceiling?
Answers:
I actually read about this yesterday. the fly has 2 main hooks on the tip of thier feet. behind and bellow lika third finger is a kind of L shaped toe pointing towards the 2 hooks, this toe is sticky, and the stickyness comes from the flyiespoo, beleive it or not yes flyies to crap from their feeth!. the fly can push this toe to is becomes more straight. well, when the fly land on the ceiling, it first touches down with its "middle toe" then straight away hooks with the 2 others, using the ability to straighten its middle toe, the fly can increase it grip tot he ceiling if it blows or its toes arnt sticky enough.This makes the fly able to sit ipside down with ease.

About the landing, a fly does not make a spin orwtir before landing on the roof. It makes ahalf loop. Think of a fly commin in from the righthand side and flying straight, it will then fly a loop in a shape of the letter "C" and land on the ceileing when it meets.
it flipps over..
It closes his eye's
it has tiny hairs in its legs that are so small that they grip in tiny unseen cracks on every thing even glass
It kind of "pops a wheelie" and grabs on. For flies, the air feels much thicker, so they can do those amazing feats as if they were swimming.
a fly has 8 eyes and no concept of up or down.
VERY CAREFULLY!
