Duncanthrax's Empire of Bats Cafe

Honduran white bats,
sheltering under a leaf

Basically this whole thread is to keep Duncanthrax appeased for the next six months.

TheBatBnB makes Bat Bed-and-Breakfast boxes for bats to congregate and sleep in, to help save the bats. They posted a lot of the pictures I'll be posting in this thread.

"Have you ever heard of 'electronic mail'? You'll be hearing about it in the future, some nerds tell us."

Bad-tomato rejecting machine. Pretty nifty.

Bike race in the 1920s.

Commenters were talking about the Tacoma Bridge a while ago. Here it is on the day of its collapse.

Bear home invasion. The cubs whine and yammer about who gets the seed-covered ball of suet (which was hung for the birds).

Dogs just want to be doing whatever it is you're doing. You fascinate them.

What I hear in my head is, the sad end theme from The Incredible Hulk TV show...

Teaching a dog to "whisper-bark."

US-Japan relations, 1854-1940.

Big ol' whale.

Sheep dip.

"Cueva de los Murcielagos" means "Cave of the Bats." If you're wondering how that word came to mean "bats:"

Old Spanish mur ("mouse") + ciego ("blind")

Mur for mouse comes from Latin mus.

What the what.

While not part of their usual behaviour, bats can swim, especially in stressful situations if the need arises. This video by Krishnendu Mitra, though, shows they are indeed surprisingly good at it [source, read more: https://t.co/sUeMlpkBvV] pic.twitter.com/3AaZJBgKFf

Le Bar Bat, shuttered nightclub in NYC
It tried too hard. And yet, not enough.
It was kind of gay. Not gay, but, you know.
Gay.
Garrett would've liked it.
