Sex life of Bats

[Purple]

I don't know how I missed this;

I could never get used to the 'hanging upside down' thing.

It's called 96

Crazy maybe, I am wondering how you came to the conclusion that all of us are paying for this study, regardless of the subject. Awaits imminent response. Bats lead an intriguing and full life, mankind (and women kind) can learn so much from them Not!

Did you not read the bit about them hanging upside down?

The good news is that the High Court has quashed the sanctions against the lecturer.

Brendan Burgess

Interestingly, the sanctions were deemed excessive but the finding of sexual harassment still stands. The paper itself was only part of the original complaint, and it seemed to be the final item in a series of actions.

The original complaint was leaked, BTW, and presumably the college is not happy about the breach of confidentiality.

You should be careful how you word that:


"The external investigation found that while Dr Evans had no intention to offend, the incident fell within the definition of sexual harassment under the university's policy on 'Duty of Respect and Right to Dignity'."

Except that bats are not blind

No, bats aren't blind. All bats can see, although some species aren't exactly eagle-eyed.

While scientists believe smaller bats don't see in color, many species get around amazingly well in the dark. Some bat species have the added advantage of -- the ability to bounce sounds off an object, including prey, to determine its size, shape, and location.
The Bat Conservation International reports the echolocation of a fishing bat is sophisticated enough to detect a minnow's fin as fine as a human hair sticking up just 2 mm above a pond's surface. Those of us with LASIK should be so lucky.
So saying you're "as blind as a bat" without your contacts isn't really an admission of poor eyesight. It's just an idiom dating back [broken link removed]. Though they may be as hungry as a horse, as quiet as a mouse, and as happy as a clam, bats aren't, well, as blind as a bat.
