More of what happened...

Here's more about what's been happening the past few months. In November, the World Youth Day Cross stopped by in Adelaide for a weekend, and was carried around the city during a procession to celebrate it's stop-over, before it travelled on to Melbourne the following week. World Youth Day will be held in Sydney next year, with the pope and youths from all around the world converging for a wonderful week of prayer and activities.




One foggy September morning was so misty, I couldn't see ten meters beyond me! Visibility was so bad, I was like a deaf bat wandering around at night without his echo locator. *beep beep beep bbzzzzzzzzzz*








Actually, bats do have perfect vision, some with the ability to detect UV light, as well as very good sense of smell. Some insects have developed defense mechanisms against the echolocation abilities of bats. The moths Noctuidae have a hearing organ called a tympanum which responds to an incoming bat signal by causing the moth's flight muscles to twitch erratically, sending the moth into random evasive manoeuvres. Tiger moths send out ultrasonic waves that confuse the bats' signals, and to warn them that the moths are poisonous. Pretty cool.



And it's important to remember:

Stealing is a leading cause of all cancers!
