Holy Eco-Loving Ever Evolving Revolutionary Bats Man!

I'm not a "fan" of winter brrrr grrrr ugh. And I hate Ugg boots. They look like half a muppets head. Jim Hensen's company should be suing their booties off.

So in my daily routine of finding out exactly what hell hath forecast for me..on this day

....*....

I found myself surfing like an avalanche, plowing toward ANY information that spoke of warmer climes.

And what a crazy find....in the general gene pool scheme of things.

53 and 55 million years ago 'something awful happened with the temperature' (as Eddie Izzard has been heard to say : )

For reasons unknown to meteorologists everywhere back then, the earths temperature went up 6 or 7 degrees, which created the 'thermal maximum' situation thingy to occur.

Loosely translated it means, all the Dinosaurs instruments guages read TILT.

(of course, they read TILT in their language, which, sadly was also entirely lost to us, along with all the reasons that lead up to the temperature hikes and spikes, not to mention their advanced literature penned by their ancestors, the amoebascenes, as well as the current music selections the younger Dinosaur generation were enjoying in their day).

All this was tragically lost due to the subsequent siphoning and burning of oil and fossil fuels [a.k.a.: answers], for our mindless puttering around in circles, toward what will likely be our own undeniable, and paradoxically identical demise.

However, that *whatever-it-was* that we'll never know which caused the earths temperatures to go up those few "insignificant" notchie-poos that wiped out huge Dinosaurs, actually enabled bats to evolve, when everything else was starving and fanning themselves to death.

I forget the details now, cause I really do have the attention span of a gnat, but it was at that time (don't quote me, I wasn't there), that the bat evolved from the micro-sonic-food-finding bat with it's echolocation detection unit strapped to its head, and morphed into "megabats". I'm not sure what the Megabats claim to fame is exactly....I can only assume it's when the megabats went fully digital, and were megabitebats. Who knows? I certainly don't.

Moral of the story: Forget mice and men. Are we going to be as foolish as the awkwardly oversized, unthinking, slow moving, surly-toothed, drooly faced, greedy, inexhaustably consuming, inflexible dinosaur? And go the same way of said species? Or are we going to evolve the way the ever flitting flingy clingy, hangy-upside-downy, cheeky wee bat did when the going gets real haaaaaat?

Stay tuned ! We'll very likely find out in our lifetime. uh ....yeay...*...how apropos.
We are/were sucn an instant gratification gimme gimme now now human race, racing to the finish.

mmm scorchy warmth ahhh, I'll be like a bat out of hell once it gets warm.
