bat/hermit cave geeky suggestion
Posted: 11 Jan 2016, 22:38
Ok, maybe this is a bit too geeky to be popular...
The crazy hermit ask you bat wings for his experiments.
Well, there was a real scientist in the 17th century Lazzaro Spallanzani. He wanted to know how bats see in the dark. He made various experiments, involving blinding them (with hot needles), blocking there ears and mouths and covering their wings with resin/glue. His experiments were showing that bats were seeing in the dark, with their mouths and ears, but he didn't accept that, since that's totally CRAZY!!! He couldn't understand what was going wrong. (echolocation was understood 200 years later)
So my proposal is to rename the hermit to "Lazzaro Spallanzani". Complaining ("I don't understand....") that he keeps repeating his experiments and the same crazy result comes up again and again. Saying, that's impossible, there is something wrong with the experiments. It's just crazy. It drives him crazy, he tears his hair, he loses sleep etc... He would randomly give a description of one of his experiments (Now, i blind bats with hot needles, to see if they can find their way in total darkness. Now i eat some bats, maybe the taste will tell me something, not much meat on them though. Now i dissect them. Now i clog their ears with wax.....). And of course, he needs bat wings for some of his experiments.
I think it's better then just "I just like to cut them up".
This change, involves only changing some text, no new coding, no new art.
