BBC News - Human brain's 'bat sight' found. Also, I show you The Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus) dorincards that I postcardized from book cut-outs (there are no hoary bat regular postcards, for God's sake!) :)

Please read: BBC News - Human brain's 'bat sight' found

Now I show you some of my dorincards with The Hoary Bat, one of the almost 1,000 species of bats known to man.

The alien might know even more.

Since I could NOT find any regular, commercial postcard with a hoary bat, I converted my cut-outs from books into "postcards". 

Don't worry, most of these books and magazines are dirt-cheap, from thrift stores. :)

And you thought that I'm a millionaire, who spend$$ lavishly on this hobby...:)

Notice that the hoary bat is NOT the main subject of the stamp, but ...Hoary Cow!, that never stopped me! :)

Can you see the bat, besides the bird?

Hint: it's below the bird.

Here's a bigger scan:

Compare the above stamp with the stamp in the top image - do you notice the extra selvage that I added, to extend the image of the wings of the bat?

It's Lasiurus, not Lasurius...

"The hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) is a species of bat in the vesper bat family, Vespertilionidae. It occurs throughout most of North Americaand much of South America, with disjunct populations in the Galapagos and Hawaiian Islands.

The hoary bat averages 13 to 14.5 cm (5 to 5.7 in) long with a 40 cm (15.7 in) wingspan and a weight of 26 g (0.9 oz). It is the largest bat normally found in Canada. Its coat is of a dark brown colour and there is silver frosting on its back. With the major exception of the underside of the wing, most of the bat is covered in fur.

The bat normally roosts alone on trees, hidden among foliage, but on occasion has been seen in caves with other bats. It prefers woodland, mainly coniferous forests, but hunts over open areas or lakes. It hunts alone and its main food source is moths."

"Like other members of the family Vespertilionidae, the hoary bat 

has a unique bony tail that they use as a sort of "feeler"."

You know what? ...Make your own jokes about that...

:)

Like some Stegosaurus, some Hollywood celebutantes/ starlets have created a DUBIOUS NAME for themselves, because they are only known from a certain thing...I also show you a Stegosaurus maxicard from Romania

Maximum card from Romania.

Notice the subject-concordant pictorial postmark;

I bet you saw this beast before...

"Stegosaurus ( /ˌstɛɡɵˈsɔrəs/) is a genus of stegosaurid armored dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian) in what is now western North America. In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, showing that they were present in Europe as well.^[1] Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus. The name Stegosaurus means "roof lizard" (sometimes put as "covered lizard", but in the sense that a roof covers a building) and is derived from the Greek στέγος-, stegos- ("roof") and σαῦρος, -sauros ("lizard").^[2]At least three species have been identified in the upper Morrison Formation and are known from the remains of about 80 individuals. They lived some 155 to 150 million years ago, in an environment and time dominated by the giant sauropods Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus.^[3]

A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily rounded back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. Its array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism, as well as having display and thermoregulatory (heat control) functions. Stegosaurus was the largest of all the stegosaurians (bigger than genera such as Kentrosaurus and Huayangosaurus) and, although roughly bus-sized, it nonetheless shared many anatomical features (including the tail spines and plates) with the other stegosaurian genera."

"The fact that an animal weighing over 4.5 metric tons (5 short tons) could have a brain of no more than 80 grams (2.8 oz) contributed to the popular old idea that dinosaurs were unintelligent, an idea now largely rejected"

Some Hollywood celebutantes/ starlets have created a DUBIOUS NAME for themselves, because they are only known from a certain thing...

"Nomina dubia (dubious names)

S. ungulatus at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History

• Stegosaurus affinis, described by Marsh in 1881, is only known from a pubis and is considered a nomen dubium.^[18] It is possibly synonymous with S. armatus."

S, as in Stegosaurus.

How Lady Gaga Created a Web Marketing Spectacle for Born This Way [PICS]. Also, I show you her autograph (with a heart shape) and a blank stamp which could honor/promote her, someday, if permission would be granted

Let's say I want (or YOU want) to create a personalized stamp design related to Lady Gaga.

Or a postcard, T-shirt or anything else of hundreds of customized product lines at zazzle.

Can I do it? Yes!

May I do it? No!

Why?

Coz I don't have permission from the owner of the intellectual property rights, in this case Lady Gaga.

Could she grant me such a permission?

Sure! 

All it takes is an email to me, which I'll forward to zazzle.

For now, imagine that the above autograph image is on the above blank stamp image, let's say.

Wouldn't that be interesting?

:)
