0 plasmid Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 This just seems to fit too well to be far offClaws in caves around the globe, (Bats have claws, are in caves, and are found around the globe) Grabbing weapons, letting go. (At first I was confused - what clawed animals use weapons? But the bats aren't grabbing weapons; the weapons are their claws which are grabbing their perch on the cave and letting go when they're leaving to hunt) War declared against a tribe— (Some bats are known to hunt other bats.) Soldiers poised, side-by-side. Bombs set loose to topple towers, (I certainly don't know of animals that use bombs, but if you interpret this as meaning that the bats themselves ARE the well-aimed bombs which can topple animals that tower much larger than themselves...) All applaud their well-aimed power. Oh world unstable, spinning free! Brought down in sound trajectory! (They definitely use echolocation.) But now just watch, I bet the real answer is gonna end up being something man-made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
