- badwithcomputer, on 02/17/2008, -4/+131these people running the batman viral campaign are good....damn good...
- Iknowyourtricks, on 02/17/2008, -4/+85Every 15 minutes a bat dies from flying under the influence
- AndrewDB, on 02/17/2008, -6/+73Well, since Guiliani dropped out of the presidential electoral race, he's back in New York, and he's gotta be hungry since his travels around the states. The bats are just simply starving to death.
- jjacksonRIAB, on 02/17/2008, -5/+53Like any good New Yorker, they're learning to work hard and snort coke to keep up with the pace of modern life.
- EpicSelekta, on 02/17/2008, -4/+44Doesn't Lindsay Lohan have White Nose syndrome?
- loquax, on 02/17/2008, -0/+38Heck no! The bats eat thousands of harmful insects by the minute, and help agriculture out by doing this. Additionally, while bats are not rodents, they can act as vectors for diseases into human populations just like rats, mice, and other vermin. This is serious if it starts to spread.
- da_bradler, on 02/17/2008, -8/+43That god damn joker is at it again
- KibibyteBrain, on 02/17/2008, -1/+29No, it wouldn't be news to find out that NYC had an atmosphere toxic to all life.
- WiLdRiCe, on 02/17/2008, -2/+24funny thing is, everyone will assume this means the city
- greatmag, on 02/17/2008, -2/+22Hillary
- GrodaSA, on 02/17/2008, -4/+24Ron Paul got 88% of the bat vote in the primaries.
- inactive, on 02/17/2008, -1/+18You used to read the comments for useful insights?
- quakerorts, on 02/17/2008, -0/+16In the past year, I've seen stories on Digg about birds dying, bees dying and now bats. The smallest creatures will always die first. That's why miners took canaries into the mines to detect the gas. We have poisoned our environment to the point where the smaller creatures are dying off. We better stop soon before we kill ourselves.
- oxymoron69, on 02/17/2008, -3/+18Moe: Seems nobody wants to hang out in a dank pit no more.
Carl: You ain’t thinking of getting rid of the dank, are you, Moe?
Moe: Ehh, maybe I am.
Carl: Oh, but Moe; the dank. The dank! - Easty, on 02/17/2008, -0/+14Well done on being THAT guy. This story is about bats.
- ynggrsshppr, on 02/17/2008, -1/+15Why do I bother even reading the comments section for useful insights anymore?
- VinceNoir, on 02/17/2008, -0/+13Asshat. Nice excuse to ignore it.
- iRoy, on 02/17/2008, -1/+12Well, I guess one of them was destined to make it to the front page because all of those have like under 20 diggs. Or maybe this user has more friends or something who knows, point is this one got the most diggs so here it is. Stop complaining..
- LeeSoong, on 02/17/2008, -0/+10you can only eat 20 times your weight in pesticide tainted insects every night for so long,
before it catches up to ya . . . - sremick, on 02/17/2008, -9/+18Dupe much?

All posted before this one. Buried. - defwheezer, on 02/17/2008, -0/+8Along with the dying of the oceans,
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/e ...
It's another sign of the impending Die Off.
http://mental-escher.net/cyberpunkradio/die-off_cy ... - SydneyHopper, on 02/17/2008, -0/+8Bees dying en masse and now Bats, not to mention teenagers in Wales.
Communicable pathogen, or spontaneous synchronicity?
A terrible business. - milliamp, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7Interesting, I know someone that lives on the other side of the state who told me the bats on their property were dying in mass last summer. They reported the incident but nobody knew what the cause was. If it is the same thing the article said they saw it up to 130 miles from Albany, and this was 300 miles south west of Albany.
- blckng, on 02/17/2008, -1/+8Joker? Nah.
Any true fan would note the similarities between this and the contagion infection that hit Gotham back in the 90's. An infected bat must have migrated up from Jersey. We have to assign blame to the twisted ***** who originally tried to wipe the city out. We need to find Ra's al Ghul! - inactive, on 02/17/2008, -1/+8No, people care about bats.
- KibibyteBrain, on 02/17/2008, -0/+7Both sides? Sounds like a false choice if I had ever heard of one.
- dylangaine, on 02/17/2008, -2/+8first the bees, now the bats, is it time to get the survival kit ready?
- revyn, on 02/17/2008, -1/+7"BATS AREN'T BUGS!!"
"HEY! WHO'S GIVING THIS REPORT? YOU CHOWDERHEADS OR ME?!"
"..Calvin, could I see you a moment?" - inactive, on 02/17/2008, -10/+16Funnily enough Heath Ledger also had a white substance on his face when he was found...
- joemofo214, on 02/17/2008, -2/+7my first thoughts when i read the description
- LeeSoong, on 02/17/2008, -1/+6Mr. Cheney, welcome to digg.
- RoadWarriorX11, on 02/17/2008, -4/+9Im in ur cavez killin ur batz
- Armorfist, on 02/17/2008, -5/+9Make that big boobs syndrome.
- addicted68098, on 02/17/2008, -0/+4It seems like long term exposure to pollution is killing species, smaller to big, by mutating species.
- quistoman, on 02/17/2008, -0/+4Caves are also a perfect place for fungi, so its not surprising to me if a fungi developed a way to utilize bats as food.
- zunkus, on 02/17/2008, -2/+6They were seen flying during the day and crashing into snowbanks for no apparent reason, that's awesome.
- ilmickeyli, on 02/17/2008, -1/+5dank caves? sounds like my kind of cave :cool:
- RaDeus, on 02/17/2008, -2/+6rather like bats since i hate mosquito's so they are my friends...
tobad i cant hear them that good anymore, damned aging...
really sucks that they are dying, I'm guessing its had something to do with pesticides or anti-fungal agents that the insects ingest when they eat crops sprayed with it... - yelnatz, on 02/17/2008, -1/+4viral? I see what you did there.
- ampersand2001, on 02/17/2008, -3/+6chemtrails
- quazyjazz, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3Which explains why there is an owl infestation in NYC in the year 3000.
- ccL1, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3First the bees...now the bats? Double whammy for agriculture.
- TypeEE, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3He used to get his PHD paper done by reading digg's comments.
- inactive, on 02/17/2008, -0/+3"Whatever it is, afflicted bats are burning through their winter stores of fat before hibernation ends in the spring..."
This leads me to the idea of starvation. Why should that be? A very long term illness or something interfering with their ability to eat, I think. Could it be some kind of ultrasound interference (like 'They Live!' sleep beam) perhaps? - PabloMac, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2Owls from India.
- LeeSoong, on 02/17/2008, -1/+3What ?

I'm sorry, did you say something about her nose ? - HappyScrappy, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2Sonar is sound, not electromagnetic waves.
- contradictator, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2Looks like Dr. Langstrom has started up to his old experiments.
Man-Bat lives! - sabach, on 02/17/2008, -0/+2DEFCON - Kills Owls Dead
