    Let's be honest. All of these animals, especially the cats, were pussies compared to SpaceBat. They went in the comfort of inside the shuttle.

    But SpaceBat?

    He wasn't having that.

    He grabbed onto the side,

    And waved his hat around during the ride.


    Gods bless you SpaceBatCowboy.

    @USB_Humping_Dog: I've seen ice form on those tanks. My theory is he found a hollow in the insulation, and DIDN'T burn up. However, he didn't survive in space. Now he's hurtling through space, next to a mirror with some screaming guy in it, and will eventually find a civilization that can revive him. They can rebuild him. They have the technology.


    Or maybe I need some sleep and inhaled to many fumes from the weedwhacker I was wielding tonight.

    Only thing better is having Ned Beaty drop into your prison yard with a hot air ballon.


    OR


    To get in the mood which we may soon be in, pretending to be a gay hairdresser, a psycho, and a world acclaimed psychiatrist to set up some lawn chair hot air balloons to get B.A.'s friend out of the prison where they are forcing prisoners to fight.

    I am so glad that Vets only work on animals.

    If I'm in a car accident I definetly don't want my facial reconstructive surgery to involve bolting bits of Mechano to my face.

    He look says it all, its painful, and without the coolness of looking like a T-800 because its over your flesh not under.

    If magnets can mess up a crocodile's amazing sense of direction, do you suppose magnets on my head might improve my terrible sense of direction? Time for a tinfoil contraption to put my brain in the right polarization.

    It's not exactly crocodile (or alligator) hate. Alligators are wild animals, and they belong in the wild, not people's back yards. Moving them back to the everglades isn't so effective if they keep leaving to bother the elderly in what used to be their habitat.


    The back yards of the elderly don't have the right elements for gators to thrive, which is why people's dogs get eaten. It's better for everyone if they stay in their own habitat (which they would if we weren't shrinking it).

    @mhlaxp: Yeah, your last (statement) kind of undercuts your overall point, unless I misread it.


    It's not that Alligators belong in their own backyard, not people's back yards.

    It's that people belong in their own backyard, not the Alligator's back yard.


    I never understand the logic: "Oh my god! I built a house in the woods to get far, far away from the city and have my own space and a bear showed up at my house! How did this ever happen to me? What shall I do? What shall I do?"

    My neighbor used to trap squirrels in a live trap in his backyard and then free them at a golf course 5 miles away. I told him that one of the squirrels he had trapped looked familliar. He told me they couldn't find their way home that far away. To make my point, I spray-painted one of the squirrel's tails with red paint before he drove to the golf course. One week later, the red tailed squirrel was back in the trap. I should've just stapled magnets to the squirrels' heads instead.

    @TerryinSt.Paul: I can just picture the squirrel running across the road and instead of getting hit, getting sucked to the side of the car and stuck there.


    I think I am going to invest in some neodymium magnets and some epoxy. I wonder what would happen in two squirrels got too close together.....

    @ack389: Would have been cooler if he dressed them in either a bomber jacket w/hat or Hawaiian shirt. Then you'd just have to capture some female mice in overalls and a large male mouse in a pilots cap, and you'd have your own Rescue Rangers.

    I really don't understand why there's so much hate against crocodiles. True, crocodiles can post here without "auditioning" and a lot of crocodile posts don't add all that much to the discussion. But then anytime a crocodile posts there's this backlash and not all crocodiles deserve it.


    While it may sound cruel, I actually like the idea of taping magnets to their heads. So they get confused, crawl over to Engadget and can't find their way back.. that's better than making them into a handbag.
