There was a story about Japanese children putting flies in them so that their buzzing would cause the paper to make noise. Paper Historians believe that the 1614 play by John Webster referred to a "paper prison" used to trap flies was an origami waterbomb. In Act IV of the play "The Duchess of Malfi" by John Webster (1614), character Bosola refers to paper prisons which boys use to imprison flies. "Our bodies are weaker than those paper-prisons boys use to keep flies in;" Diana ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.origami-resource-center.com/ http://make-origami.com ----------------------------------------------------------
