I have a simple credo when it comes to creatures: they can have everything outside my home, but nothing on the inside.

       I guess San Antonio Spur Manu Ginobili is a like-thinker.

       It's Saturday night and the Spurs are hosting Sacramento.    A bat swoops down from the rafters, causing a stop or two in play.

       Enter Manu and his "Hands of Death".

       PETA is predictably upset, saying it takes a small man to kill a four-ounce bat.    To them, anything short of stopping the game until the bat died of old age would be unacceptable.
