One of the most exciting thing that's happened? My new toy!!! Hurrahs!

Today fellow physicists were having an intellectual discussion in the office about tricky questions in *duh* physics. Think about this:
1. Imagine a housefly flying about in a sealed jar of air, which is on a weighing scale. The housefly then lands on the bottom of the jar for a rest. Does the reading on the weighing scale change?
2. After a while, the housefly propels itself up. Does it affect the reading?
3. What if the jar is not sealed but open? Will that make a difference in the above answers?
Muahahaha... Don't ask me! I have not figured these out for myself yet!
