  8. A-HOLE March 18th, 2009 6:09 pm

    Its a BAT! It attacked you in mexico. It wanted to go on a spaceship for some ice cream.

  9. FSA_NL March 18th, 2009 6:09 pm

    it’s a baby bat, chilling on an orange coloured beach

  10. saxey March 18th, 2009 6:09 pm

    Forgot to add the background.

    A crippled bat is clung onto a rocketship as it launched into space! Mad crazy

  11. iskandar March 18th, 2009 6:09 pm

    It’s a bat clinging to the body of the Space Shuttle for the ride of its life !!!

  12. weishan March 18th, 2009 6:10 pm

  13. tical37212 March 18th, 2009 6:10 pm

    Looks like a bat on another animal, maybe a cow sucking it’s blood.

  14. sumsar92 March 18th, 2009 6:10 pm

    It is two frogs fused together to form one super-frog. XD

  15. A1yk March 18th, 2009 6:12 pm

  16. zachc March 18th, 2009 6:14 pm

  17. corporatechris March 18th, 2009 6:15 pm

    It’s a bat that was attached to the shuttle during take off…They say that his left wing was broken…I win!!!

  18. corporatechris March 18th, 2009 6:15 pm
  19. crazyhat March 18th, 2009 6:16 pm

    It’s the bat that hung on to the space shuttle as it blasted into orbit. Poor guy had a busted wing/shoulder, but talk about a sweet way to go out.

  20. A1yk March 18th, 2009 6:16 pm

    oh…and it (the bat) was in your hotel room. Chad whacked it with a broom! Now it’s laying on the shaggy orange carpet

  21. Allen_Walker March 18th, 2009 6:17 pm

    It’s a Bat!

  22. buttsackinc March 18th, 2009 6:18 pm

    he died on the way to space!! he was attached to the shuttle when it took off last weekend.

  23. rotron March 18th, 2009 6:18 pm

    It’s a bat on the space shuttle. The bat was thought to be injured and unable to fly away, and it was likely killed in the ascent to space.

  24. lecheman March 18th, 2009 6:19 pm

    thats a bat and it prolly crashed into the hotels wall or something!!!

  25. Bugtap March 18th, 2009 6:20 pm

    A dead bat you killed in your hotel

  26. sodabreak March 18th, 2009 6:24 pm

    I guess it’s not fair but I saw this news story on CNN this morning. There is no way that that bat is making it to outer space on the spaceship it’s holding on to.

    I didn’t really guess the pic so I’m not expecting a prize but its cool enough knowing that one of the members of the Neptunes crew is reading this comment.

  27. corporatechris March 18th, 2009 6:26 pm

    The agency believes the bat stayed clunged to the shuttle and died while on the shuttle…pretty strange it’s the first time a bat ever stayed clunged to a shuttle, they usually just fly away before take-off…

  28. Timmy V March 18th, 2009 6:26 pm

    It looks like a bat chillin’ on a stuco wall?

  29. dcorona86 March 18th, 2009 6:27 pm

  31. Wes March 18th, 2009 6:28 pm

    First Bat in space. Bat hung onto the main tank of the shuttle during lift-off.

  33. ROBOT March 18th, 2009 6:29 pm

  35. YoMonkey March 18th, 2009 6:31 pm

    Its A Bat Grabbed In A Spaceship Trying To Reach The Space

    =P

    In The Launch They Saw A Little Blur … Probably The Bat Is Damaged Cause The Ship Reaches A Velocity 25 Times Faster That Sound

    I Hope The Little Bat Made It

  36. Lolita March 18th, 2009 6:32 pm

  41. Mrs.NERD March 18th, 2009 6:54 pm

  42. ELECTRIFYINGELECTRA March 18th, 2009 6:58 pm

    Hey BBC, I bet you were not expecting all of those interesting comments huh? (O: I enjoyed reading them they are very funny.

  43. YoungHov0889 March 18th, 2009 7:17 pm

    It’s a bat that ventured out of his cave to find some food and he got lost in the desert and then you saw him crawling through the sand and you felt bad for him so you gave him some ice cream. What you didn’t know at the time was that this particular bat was allergic to ice cream and he promptly died. Then you took this picture, buried him, and left him a BBC Deep Space Tie (Charcoal) for the afterlife.

  44. Opieze March 18th, 2009 7:43 pm

    That’s Like A Little Tick The Like Really Really Small That On Your Skin.

  45. avalfano March 18th, 2009 7:44 pm

    a bat clinging to the side of the space shuttle Discovery during launch. It probably came to rest on the shuttle because it was injured.

  46. avalfano March 18th, 2009 7:45 pm

    It a bat clinging on the space shuttle Discovery, during a launch, most likely because it was injured.

  47. Opieze March 18th, 2009 7:55 pm

    That’s Alittle Tick That’s On Your Sink. =D

  48. hsil March 18th, 2009 7:58 pm

  49. hsil March 18th, 2009 7:58 pm

    OR maybe it’s a bat that swallowed a rat!

  50. Tevin Richey March 18th, 2009 7:59 pm

    the stowaway bat who hitched a 17,500mph, one-way ride into outer space on the shuttle Discovery

  51. MissBBCBabe March 18th, 2009 8:09 pm

    a bat above someones head on the wall of the stadium entrance or hotel entrance

  60. BBC Ice Cream March 18th, 2009 10:57 pm

    Well we do have a winner but the dead elephant was good as well because we did not see it and it does look like it. It’s amazing what reaction a contest brings out! We see how many of you guys read the blog around the world and wonder why more people don’t leave comments.

  61. sutolkia March 18th, 2009 11:35 pm

    I always leave comments …when there is something to comment about

  62. AM March 19th, 2009 2:03 am

    well who won? and what was the prize? fuck, some of the comments were funny… nad some sick…

    i think it looks like a dead kangaroo feotus who’s mama kangaroo had died, and then crawled out of the pouch and into the desert.

    did mrs nerd win? although sodabreak threw me cause they said

    “I guess it’s not fair but I saw this news story on CNN this morning.”

    but then sodabreak didn’t and up saying what it was!

    and then i thought if it WAS a kangaroo feotus why on earth would they report it on CNN?

    did mrs nerd win? WAS it a dead (baby) kangaroo? although, really, if that meant to the ‘correct’ answer, it’s not too correct… cause feotus wasn’t mentioned….

    sorry, i’m just talking way to much…!

    anyway, good tactic to get more people to login to get more ‘members’ (: i bet you have a lot more people now – and now you’ll probably genearlly get more comments!) funny.

  63. cavanisfidm March 19th, 2009 2:25 am

    who’s the winner?

  64. filip4reeL March 19th, 2009 2:32 am

  73. Jo_Lies March 19th, 2009 8:17 am

    It’s Bruce Wayne’s Little brother, Lil Wayne on his way to Phone home on Mars. Unfortunatly he misunderstood the whole thing and realized too late that he was playing with fire, now he’s shot down in the desert surrounded by a milli sandcorns. Someone call DR CARTER

  74. M3ND3L March 19th, 2009 11:08 am
