That picture is only cute because the scary part of the bat is hidden. Bats are messed up!

When I was a kid, my older brothers, who were in constant rivalry, got into a fight and a hole was breached in our bedroom wall. That night a bat flew out and into the house, wreaking havoc as everyone struggled to get it out. It had ridden our dog like a cowboy, got tangled in my mothers hair and even landed on my bed....while I was sleeping.

I had slept through the whole ordeal as my entire family was roused and running around with brooms, dustpans and buckets in a frantic effort to get the thing out of the house and I was so disappointed that I slept through it haha.

That reminds me of an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Bryan Cranston brings home an old cabinet he found on the side of the road or something. He brings it in the house and opens the doors and a dozen or so bats fly out. They spend the rest of the episode trying to remove all the bats from the house.

Imagine if the Taliban was holding a cat hostage. The Internet would call for nuclear war.

The Taliban has finally discovered they were going about things all wrong if they wanted to upset Americans. Americans don't care if you kill people. We hate people. But dogs... we love dogs!

Like Luke said, let's hope they never find out about cats.

I went to check the price on BattleStar Galactica on iTunes , it was $34 for season 1 .
I went to check the Bluray price on Amazon, it was $62 for the whole series. This is why I hate doing research and buying online. Its just confusing that the digital version is more expensive than the physical version, especially when you can resell the physical and I believe its higher quality any way.

What made me more confused is that there are 2 search results on Amazon, both of the says BattleStar Galactica The Complete Series , but one is priced at $62 and one is priced at $147, I know I can buy like 2 other series with that price different.

There's nothing to be confused about. The physical version is cheaper, the digital version is more expensive. It's as simple as that. Buy whichever one you want.

Look at the dates and pictures. They're different printings from different years. One is in higher supply than the other. The first review on the product page has all the info you need on the box sets.

Why? Because a dog's life is worth any less than a human's life?
