I received only two rises to my bait about bats being orgerhunches; one from Batlady who said that I along with the word ogerhunch belonged to the Seventeenth Century when burning witches cured warts (or something like that). The other response was from my caving pal ZerbtheSerb who agreed that bats were evil ogerhunches and then gave me the October 2007 issue of National Geographic to prove it. Zerbe was right. On page 84 directly opposite a full page cute picture of a big browneyed fruit bat was a lead in by the editor that read... "When a pathogen leaps from some nonhuman animal into a person and succeeds there in making trouble, the result is what's known as a zoonosis. It's a word of the future." I don't wish to arouse the rabble of the Awaders here by disturbing their comfortable sensitivities so I'll stop and leave you all with just one unpleasant thought...

I read the NG article. yikes! -joe (don't step on my toe) friday I read the article. About virusses and zoonosis: Human interference influences in many ways. (A British inquiry into BSE concluded that the epidemic was caused by feeding cattle, who are normally herbivores, the remains of other cattle in the form of meat and bone meal (MBM), which caused the infectious agent to spread.[6][7] The origin of the disease itself remains unknown. ) Don't blame it on the bats. Blame it on human boogie.
