I have another one. (and i'm going to apologise right now)
...because i can already feel it turning into two or three more.

1) Why are people so afraid of bats?? They're basically cute harmless little mouse-like things with wings, they have less disease, and no, they DON'T get in your hair. I've never been freaked out by them...one day whilst i was driving(or trying to at that time) I hit one at low speed with the windshield. Don't ask me what it was doing there by day, but all i know is the poor little thing ended up clinging to the wiper. It wasn't seriously injured, but maybe it left me feeling like I owed it-and the bat world-something. Later I and some people were sitting around at uni when something flew in the open window and landed with a thud on the sill(they really can't take care of them selves can they?) We couldn't figure out what it was at first-it just looked like a fucked-up little furry thingy, but then I figured it out: "It's a bat". "A BAT!!!" and they're all running round hystercially grabbing their heads with their hands, looking ridiculous, as if the poor 'ickle terrified bat is seriously going to fly up and get tangled in their hair or something. This one died on its own in the end
:o( , but the idiots would have smushed it to death if I hadn't been there to lend them some reason. Fucking crazy.

This has been another long convuluted anecdote, brought to you with the aid of Caffeine. :)
