Are we can crazy? With talk of cutting pensions can we afford to pay high salaries for the study of the sex life of bats. I am either going mad or the country is !!
 
I don't think we paid anyone to study the sex life of bats. Think one lecturer just showed the article to another lecturer and apparently that is sexual harassment. Thought the most interesting thing to come out of the story was that bats enjoys enjoy oral sex. Who would have thought!

If they could actually see how ugly bat genitalia is they might have second thoughts.
 
Well I guess nothing can be too OT for this thread, SO...

It's a classic thing isn't it? Humans can't hear bat sounds?

Maybe it's certain types of sounds or certain types of bats but I have definitely heard bat squeals before on many occasions?!
 
The sonar thing that bats do for navigation is at a frequency audible to humans, but "bat-chat" isn't AFAIK, Robin. Alfred has more books in the BatCave.
 
As creepy as they are - they have a critical part to play in nature as they consume large amounts of insects.

There's your thought for the day now taken care of!!!!
 
The good news is that the High Court has quashed the sanctions against the lecturer.

[broken link removed]

The President of the High Court, Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, ruled yesterday the sanctions imposed on Dr Dylan Evans were “grossly disproportionate” and he returned the matter to the President of UCC, Dr Michael Murphy, for a fresh consideration in light of the court’s ruling.
...

Following a two-day hearing, Mr Justice Kearns yesterday declined to quash the investigation findings but said he would quash the sanctions imposed on foot of those findings.

He declined to make any order in relation to a separate disciplinary hearing started by the college last May in relation to breaches of confidentiality over the matter. This was “an unfortunate by-product” of the case and another matter for another day, he said.

The judge also awarded costs to Dr Evans who said outside court he was “very happy” with the outcome.

In his judgment, Mr Justice Kearns noted the scientific article complained of, dealing with experiments undertaken in China, was a very technical document, written in very small print with nothing or a lurid or graphic nature or anything photographic. The article was awarded an “Ig Nobel” award for papers which may have humorous content as well as serious scientific material and that was the case here, the judge noted.

The print in the paper was so small that, when Dr Kennedy was shown the article, she said she would need to get her glasses before she could read it, the judge said.

Whatever the motive Dr Evans had for producing it, he had also produced it to a number of other people that day, the judge said. Dr Evans’s case was that Dr Kennedy greeted the showing of the paper with amusement and he was unaware of any offence having been taken, the judge said.
