Remember in my "rabies/anxiety" posts how I said that when I came home from my walk (and having seen a bat fly over my head), I discovered a paper cut on my finger and freaked out?.

Well, about an hour ago my room mate had just finished up the dishes and I heard him mutter "huh...i must have gotten cut on something". So I rushed over to look at it and he had this superficial, paper-cut-like injury on the tip of his finger (just like mine) and so the next thing you know we are using a magnifying glass to "compare" our cuts and they looked IDENTICAL!.

So I asked him what he was doing right before he noticed the cut and he told me he had been running his fingers down in the little drain thing at the bottom of the sink and shortly after that is when he first noticed it.

So I looked down in the sink at the drain and that is when I spotted something that looked shiny and jagged and so I went into the bedroom real quick and came out with a pair of tweezers which I then used to extract the object and could see that it was a jagged, sharp piece of glass from a few days ago when a glass fell off into the sink and broke. I had washed the dishes a day or so ago and did the same thing with my fingers (mushed the bits of food to get them to go down the drain).

So anyway, I'm assuming/hoping that this is how I got the injury and not from a bat bite. Hmm...but what if the bat PEED on me when it flew by?...ahhh!!!.

Anyway, here are a few pictures I took and you can judge for yourselves...
