Ok, got it, wombats are not bats. But are bats wombats? Pretty unclear on that.
If you're not a biologist you probably don't care, but the fact is
#A carpet is not actually a pet at all
Telling a carpet from a pet:
- carpets spend very little time begging for food
- carpets don't scream when you step on them
- there is no such thing as a teacher's carpet
If my carpet isn't begging for food, why does it always get the table scraps? Checkmate, atheists.
I wish there was something like "wombatman"
Is it a wom?
"there is no such thing as a vampire wombat"
>=(
what if I want to roll a wombat character with an aversion to the sun for some reason, hmm? how about that?!
what if he craves blood instead of grass and roots? >=)
If it quacks like a vampire wombat, it might actually be a bat.
They have played us for absolute fools
