Many people are aware of the movie version of "The Fly," but most are unaware that the inspiration for the film came from a short story of the same name written by George Langelaan. As in the film, a scientist experimenting in teleportation becomes horrifically melded with a common housefly. In the short story, however, the scientist attempts to separate his and the insect's body by going through the teleporter again, and instead adds to his monstrous condition by reintegrating parts of the pet cat he lost in an earlier experiment. Weird, eh?
