Random question

[steuard]

So, just out of random curiosity, how does one safely remove a small bat that's hanging asleep from a curtain rod in one's living room?

No reason.


Update: My curiosity on this topic has abated.

I can happily endorse the "quickly wrap it in a towel" approach (even in awkward spaces), as long as that's coupled with leather gloves and a few other precautions. Apparently, the space between the downspout and the wall outside makes a perfectly adequate substitute for a curtain rod. Meanwhile, our bedroom doors were closed last night, so we're pretty sure he wasn't in there with us. I think we're safe.

Don't think you got bit, huh? Sounds like something a vampire would say.

No, no, really: no bites at all. Say, how would you like to come for a visit? We've got a lovely guest room with a good lock on the outside view of the neighborhood. And don't believe everything you hear: it doesn't get that cold here, so there's no need to bring any of those awkward turtleneck shirts. Or any garlic. Especially not garlic.
