Are you a Chiropterologist?

Not really but would not mind becoming a Bramstokerologist. 😉

Of course. He was testing you. You've learned a little respect.

Lamppost.

Funniest thing I ever saw was a dog taking a leak against a lamppost with exposed live wires. It wouldn't have been funny if the dog was hurt. He sprung up vertically to quite an impressive height and was running before he landed.

We have an electric rail system here. Every few years, one of our more "inteliigent" chaps decides to urinate on the third rail (live electricity). The spark arcs through the stream and ZAP - he be gone! Helluva way to die.

So much for mythbusters having debunked that myth.

It does indeed happen. Probably 4 or 5 times in the 20+ years that I've been riding the rails....Usually, at night, someone intoxicated (of course) and relatively near the rail itself. Their finals words are probably something along the lines of "Hey y'all, watch this!".
