FACTS OF INTEREST:

A decade or so ago, I read a sign at one of the animal houses in the Milwaukee Zoo that read as follows:

      There are 4237 species of mammals on this planet.
         981 species are bats; 1729 are rodents...

Doing the math,


          981 + 1729 = 2710    (100 %)        -- total bats and rodents
         2710 / 4237 = 0.6396 (call it 64 %)  -- rodents or bats
         1729 / 4237 = 0.4080 (call it 41 %)  -- rodents
           981 / 4237 = 0.2315 (call it 23 %)  -- bats

If this logic were applied to people I know, approximately 4 out of 10 would be rats
and another 2 would be batty.

After much consideration, I find this way too close for comfort...


I don't even want to think about reptiles and amphibians...
