This is totally the next thing my in-laws can get me instead of pink cardigans. <BR/><BR/>When I first read 'bat walks' I thought, how do you walk a bat? Such a great picture. <BR/><BR/>My theory on hideous buildings is that the science department's budget always goes to materials rather than facilities. The law school here is <I>gorgeous</I>. Their only equipment is copy machines and projectors. QED.Jenny F.

My best friend in grad school studied bats and so she was always called when a bat inevitably found its way through some duct or other into the hallway or a lab. She used to give bat walks for the community and faculty kids and stuff. They were great! My husband I got totally hooked and now we have a bat detector. Coolest.piece.of.technology.ever.<BR/><BR/>WHY are biology buildings always so terrible?! My grad school one was the most hideous thing ever, and this at most.beautiful.southern.university.ever.

People surely do have strong visceral reactions to bats though. It sounds like a good opportunity for educating. <BR/><BR/>I rescued a little brown bat from a mens floor in a college dorm after the frightened little boys called Public Safety to come and kill it. Bats are very cute. The bat sensory deprivation chamber sounds great.BerryBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688522956177325844noreply@blogger.com
