Bat Myths

I would like to have a running list of 'bat myths.' Please comment if you can think of things to add. These are all myths (i.e. NOT true) but I will go through each with more information as I have a longer running list. It may be interesting to see what is known about the origins of each myth!

The 'bats are' list:
1. BLIND
2. flying mice (exhibit 'a' the German word for bat 'Fledermaus')
3. really into attacking people's hair
4. all infected with rabies
5. able to turn into vampires (making Edward ever so slightly less attractive- right Bella?)
6. evil?
Okay time for a confession I love B movies... so in case you have never seen the classic vampire movie Nosferatu please click below. Twilight fans beware this is not an attractive vampire! Meanwhile please consider how this movie fits in with the above bat myths. Are any bats even included in the movie?
