Also, I see a lot of posts on Pinterest, Tumblr, etc. about what an angry-sounding language German is--"in English, it's a butterfly. In Spanish, it's a mariposa. In German, it's a schmetterling!"
In German, a bat is a fliedermaus (my apologies if I botched the spelling; I don't actually speak or read German), which means 'flutter mouse'. TOO cute.
