And they’re tampering with our records? We’re fucked. It’s never good when animals figure out how to do human things.
- Har har har.
On the other hand, maybe they can use their new-found skills to put up some signs that say, “WE HAVE RABIES. STAY AWAY FROM THIS AREA UNLESS YOU WANT RABIES. BECAUSE WE HAVE IT. RABIES.” That would be helpful, actually. (I do not want rabies.)

As long as dopphins don’t grow thumbs, I’m not worried.

I mean dolphins…
There are certainly times when I think all kinds of animals may be smarter than we are sometimes. Especially when I read some of the dumbassed comments on Slog. (Nobody on this page yet, folks – relax.)
Is there a corollary to Godwin’s Law that substitutes The Onion for Hitler?
Cool, Lindy. Hope you love mosquitos, because you probably won’t have to worry about those annoying bats much longer. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200…
Bats aren’t any more likely to have rabies than any other wild animal.
Just FYI.
They’re so CUTE!!!
Bats rarely have rabies. And when they have it, they get very sick, very fast, and then they die. They don’t carry rabies around like herpes, living normal batty lives and then having outbreaks every once in a while.
rabies is such a weird worry… animals that have it are vicious, sure, but they don’t live long when they do. It’s not like you have to guess if an animal has rabies.
But it’s more fun to think about wild, foaming-at-the-mouth critters running amok…. 🙂
