Bat Coffee

I heard this story on the radio this morning and thought it was too disgusting not to write about. A woman in Iowa sets her coffee maker every night to automatically turn on and brew coffee in the morning. So one evening she set her coffee maker and went to bed. The next morning she woke up and had her coffee as usual. That evening, as she was setting her coffee maker again, she was cleaning out the filter and noticed that a DEAD BAT was stuck in the coffee filter. That means that the bat got stuck in the filter, and DIED there while the coffee brewed. Little did the woman know that she was drinking dead bat coffee the following morning! When the woman discovered the bat, she immediately contacted the health services folks and is being treated for rabies.

And now for the most disgusting part of the story (as if finding a dead bat in your coffee and realizing you drank it's dead body juices with your morning coffee wasn't disgusting engouh): when they sent the dead bat to a lab to analyze its brain to see if it did have rabies, scientists couldn't tell, because the bat's brain was TOO COOKED for them to determine if it was sick! So the woman drank dead bat brain juice coffee for breakfast that morning. Nummy.
