I had to laugh at the expert quote

They basically boil," Ryan explained. "It affects their brain — their brain just fries and they become incoherent."

Are you Aussies talking to the bats now?

There is one that lives in the huge cypress pine out the back of our place that can recite large tracts of Chaucer. Usually it's Canterbury Tales but it said it was going to diversify. Then it shat on Jude's Mazda......

Assignment for the next Rainy Day:

Defend the thesis "The Use and Importance of Houseflies" in 250 words or less ....  :laugh:

Flys come from maggots, and without flys/maggots we would have giant piles of shit and dead things slowly rotting instead of quickly being cleaned up by the maggots.

Bat talk or Chaucer?  I can't understand either one.  Neither are from a language that I can understand.

  Australia's Heat Wave Fries Bats' Brains, Hundreds Found Dead

Maybe those hundreds of dead would still be alive if they hadn't eaten the fried bat brains

Poor babies!   :cry:

The hottest I've endured (unofficially) was 126 F.  They shut down Sky Harbor International at 118 F so I think they intentionally under-report the temperature by placing the sensor high, over plantlife, well away from the tarmac, and in permanent shade.

Umm thats actually the standard for temperature measurement for the acquisition of meteorological data, as a side note whats left of a tropical cyclone got here yesterday, we've had three times the average for January in a day the average for January? 16.7 mm.
