Heather Gardner brings us a well-done parody of Queen’s “Killer Queen” to promote getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I talked with a woman the other day about it, and she referenced "all those people who have died from the vaccine." Wait, what? No one has died from the vaccine. It turns out she gets all her news from the Facebook app on her phone. When you have the opportunity, get the vaccine so that officials won't have to wait around hoping more or your age group will do it before they open up to more demo graphics. Remember, the higher the ratio of vaccinated people, the less likely a killer variant will be able to mutate. (via Boing Boing)

True Facts: Help The Bats!
Ze Frank has now established himself as a person that people will listen to when he talks about animals. This video, which you might assume is about bats, is really about Batman. His name is Dr. Merlin Tuttle, which you have to admit is a much better name than Bruce Wayne, or at least more suitable for a comic book. But Merlin Tuttle is a real life superhero, going the extra mile to protect the bats who need him. Ze Frank explains, while gently poking fun at Tuttle's mustache. Find out more about Tuttle's work at Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation site.

When someone says something sweet to you, it's best not to question their logic. There may be none. But it's still sweet. This comic is from Chris Hallbeck at Maximumble.
Possum Shanty
When you're feeding the opossum in the window some tasty jam, you may as well sing a song about it. Eric Stix adapted the tune of "The Wellermen" sea shanty to fit the occasion. The clever lyrics are enhanced by the animal's pleasure and Stix's obvious affection for his visitor. (via Digg)
