<nettime> Bat People on the Moon Still Seem Happy |
Bat People on the Moon Still Seem Happy After decades of seclusion, the bat people of the moon have been seen smiling, according to a New Zealand researcher. Lunarologist and bat enthusiast Jamie Hollingsworth has been studying these little known beings since the early 1920s. He said last week he saw many of them flittering around Lake Constitution, and even caught a few of them coupling. *They do it they same way we do down here, only they have wings, so they can hook up in the air.* Hollingsworth said he took several pictures of the event and hopes to put them online soon. *Just as soon as I can get to a Mac, and upload the digits.* Sightings of the bat people were first recorded in the American Penny Press in the 1800s. Reporters then noted that the winged-beings looked content up on the moon, and posed no threat to humans. No techology or mechanical means of transport, such as a rocket or lunar module, were observed. Bat people were noted as being the same relative size as humans, with both men and women having comparable people-like genitalia. Today's bat people have changed little, according to Hollingsworth. And their technology still has not arrived. When asked why American astronauts never witnessed the bat people, Hollingsworth said, *Basically they are a shy species. I mean, think about it, they're flying around nude. Compared to astronauts, with all their protective, scary gear, bat people are like love-childs. Free-to-be. Innocents.* # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
