in news of other, less engraging biographies 

apparently Victor Hugo gave his fiancee Adele a bat 

in an envelope 

a live bat 

this was wasn’t an attempted breakup or anything, he was using it to illustrate a poem about bats he had written 

Hugo no 

how did he catch a bat, stuff it into an envelope, and keep it in envelope long enough to give it to her? what happened to the poor befuddled bat after she opened the envelope?

I mean I totally believe he would do this, I just want to know how he managed it. did he buy the bat? couldn’t he have put it in a box with holes instead of an envelope?

wtf, Victor Hugo

@fuckinwordsmithery

I just made a comment about wanting to read Victor Hugo’s Batman and I had completely forgotten about this
