A slightly amusing email I received today. Was tempted to laugh out loud, but I'm guessing it posed enough of a health risk to warrant an email to the whole university... hope no one gets sick.

FYI, Austin's Congress Avenue Bridge is the home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. And their flight out from under the bridge has become a must-see tourist attraction. I haven't seen them yet, but I heard it looks like that great scene from Batman Begins where the adult Bruce Wayne is in the cave and slowly conquering his phobia as the bats swirl around him.
