Please Return the Rabid Bat!
FOUND by Toby
in Minneapolis, MN
I saw this note taped to the call box of my apartment building. I laughed out loud. Later, I learned that my friend had taken (and used) the fan from the dumpster, not realizing that there was a potentially-rabid bat inside!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Potentially rabid...what is the point if it is already dead? Unless it bit someone before it died....
Was it returned and was it rabid??? Finders really need to keep us posted.
Other things found in the fan:
1) A used diaphragm
2) Half a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger
3) Lint
4) Divine by Elizabeth Taylor
5) A potentially osteoporotic hamster
Oh damn!
Baseball is much more dangerous than most people realize.
It was either for dinner or taxidermy .... either way the red ink is creepy
ross the stage, diploma in hand. She'd worked hard, deserved this moment of glory. I'm her biggest fa
Oh, come on! Everybody knows you store dead, potentially rabid bats in broken toaster ovens and NOT in fans. What were you thinking?
Now this is the kind of FOUND stuff that we all find so humorous. It is so much fun to find these oddities. Great find!
I think someone else had their eye on the fan and if it gets "returned" they are going to take it.
If you leave your dead bat where it doesn't belong, what do you expect?
Ah..the pleasure of finding free stuff. And a bat to boot!
Last summer, a poor bat flew right into the grill on the front of my car. I found it the next morning, stuck head-first in the grill, it's wings spread, as it had been caught in mid-flight.
It was a family event, checking out each small part of the bat. I doubt there will be another opportunity..
Three years ago, I was visiting my mom. She told me she wanted to show me something, but I could not take it home. It was a rabid bat. I took my picture with it.

My baby's, got Rabies,
Not Gonorrhea, Syphilis, or Scabies.
She's a contraceptive wonder,
The foams drips out from under,
Her smile when she's in ecstasy.
My baby's, got Rabies,
She's absolutely mad about me.

I'm throwing up & showing all of the signs,
And I know it's just a matter of time,
Till my baby's, Rabies, will be mine........Yeah !
So did your friend find the bat in the fan? And did he return it?
Whoever took the fan has intercepted the crucial bat distress signal and now Gotham City is in peril. I hope you're happy!
Ah Shroomin'...thanks for the memories. Dr. D was the best!!
Jerry was minding his own business sitting by the open window when a bat flew in. In a panic, it bit him and flew into the fan. Jerry, freaked out, threw the fan in the dumpster and told his friend what had happened. She said the bat should be checked for rabies, but when he came to the dumpster the fan was gone.
They say a bat's got radar
And he can fly through fan
But what I am afraid of is
That he got another plan
RELAX!
Would you please just relax???
If you don't get the bat back for testing - they simply chop off your head and send it to the State labs for testing... Then you'll know for sure - pssshhttt no biggy chillz out.. (no seriously that's the only way to really tell check it out)
or if that is just too extreme just go in and have the rabies series done it's simple
4 shots at the first day -because it's probably been a week was after being bitten
2 shots -three days later
2 shots -five days later
1 shot -after two weeks
1 shot -after a month
and usually all the shots are in your stomach
Cheer up!
This reminds me of the joke that ends with the punchline "Of course it's small, its a bat dick."
Was it a box fan? A pedastal fan? A personal fan with mister option?
Older rabies vaccines required painful, daily injections in the abdomen (stomach) for up to three weeks, and they could produce severe side effects.
Current vaccines are relatively painless and are given in your arm, like a flu or tetanus vaccine.
I would have been far more excited about the dead bat than the fan.
Make of that information what you will, internet.
This find reminds me of those novelty "rattesnake eggs" envelopes that I used as a kid to scare people. They see "rattesnake eggs" on the package, they know it's a bad idea maybe, but curiosity has taken over by then, they open it, and then they hear that unmistakable sound...
@ Lauren, you look like you're 16! Thanks for sharing that.
I'm with TexasDex wanting to know if Toby's friend returned the dead bat and what all happened after.
WHY would anyone leave a dead and potentially rabid bat inside a fan beside a dumpster.. and then get upset that someone took it?????
Lolita, apparently your bat had faulty sonar.
You can't test a dead bat for rabies. The bat must be alive when given to the examiners because they test it's brain to see. If the bat has been killed and a person has been bit they have to go throught the nine rounds of painful rabies shots.
I wonder if the batricide victim (the one who did the head plant into the radiator grill) was related to Indrid Cold...
