The bat has two different Twitter accounts, numerous YouTube tribute videos, a foundation, and its own website. (Via)
- So what name got the most votes in NASA's online contest to name a new room at the international space station? Colbert! It's all thanks to Stephen Colbert urging his viewers to write him in.
