Friend of mine had bats in between his attic and the outdoor screen, used to climb a ladder to check them out.
"FUCK! They're fucking disgusting! They just piss and shit all over each other!"

I was standing under a tree once and a drop of blood fell on my hand out of nowhere. This makes sense!

Finally Hunter S. Thompson's aversion to bat country has been explained.

Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it's technically menstration but different from "overt menstration" found in humans and primates.
Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn't occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here's a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.
This here is why I come to Comic Strips.
what a weird kink, but hey, YKINMK
Well here I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today and BAM I was wrong again
I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying "WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN'T LEARNING SHIT TODAY."
Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don't know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.

TL:DR : flying foxes' (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.
