NO NO NO...I cook the small birds because it's only my wife and I. Die Fledermaus, other than being a German opera, is translated literally to flying mouse. Germans don't have a translated word for "bat". But Die Fledermaus is "the bat" loosely.

:) Thank you! I thought the maus part was actually mouse but couldn't get the rest of it. Bats are fascinating creatures.

My favorite episode of "The Tick" was always the one where The Tick maxed out Arthur's credit cards buying cool crime-fighting equipment, and Arthur threw him out of his apartment and became Die Fledermaus's sidekick instead. Then that drove him nuts because all Die Fledermaus did was hang out at the diner all day and read fashion magazines.
