Bats and Raccoons in the News Today

First of all, the Fark.com headline for the raccoon story:

Mary had a small raccoon,
it scrambled up a pylon,
10,000 volts went up its arse,
and turned its fur to nylon.

I don't think I can really top that, so I'm not going to try.

In Bat News, a 6 year old boy was bitten by a bat at a Payless Shoe Source in Bakersfield, California. I blame the parents in this case - everyone knows that no sane bat would hang out at a Payless Shoe Source.

And if you combine the two stories, you could say that if the raccoon had been wearing rubber soles, it wouldn't have been blasted out of the belfry.
