And suddenly I'm concerned about Allyson's bat.
Only about 0.5% of bats have rabies at any given time, so the chance of him contracting it from his bloodsucking cousins in South America is still pretty small.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have been very efficient today. It's kind of freaking me out.

Apparently the news about Hawaii's statehood hasn't reached the average voter.
Well yeah. When I was a kid and my family would go to Hawaii to see family. Other kids in Ohio often asked me what kind of money they used in Hawaii.

I remember reading at one point that the reason people get rabies from bat bits/scratches is that they're SO SMALL the injured person doesn't notice them.
In other how-stupid-can-people-get, a cow-irker at a previous job had a bat get into her house. She was terrified because she was under the impression that they spit acid/poison at people.
edited to clarify

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently it's illegal to set up a bat box in my town, because it's illegal to encourage bats to nest here. Apparently they're all rabid and will carry away the children.
Not that we don't have enough spare children around here to feed a few bats . . .

Yup. I was just trying to backup some files by e-mailing them to myself, and I was afraid that my latest poisoning-computer curse hurt Google, as well (and right when shrift starts to work there, too).
