Love going full circle in insanity... ahem


Bats in the belfry
Meaning
Crazy; eccentric.

Origin
Bats are, of course, the erratically flying mammals and 'belfries' are bell towers, sometimes found at the top of churches. 'Bats in the belfry' refers to someone who acts as though he has bats careering around his topmost part, i.e. his head.

It has the sound of a phrase from Olde Englande and it certainly has the imagery to fit into any number of Gothic novels based in English parsonages or turreted castles. In fact, it comes from the USA; nor is it especially old. All the early citations are from American authors and date from the start of the 20th century. For example, this piece from the Ohio newspaper The Newark Daily Advocate, October 1900:

To his hundreds of friends and acquaintances in Newark, these purile [sic] and senseless attacks on Hon. John W. Cassingham are akin to the vaporings of the fellow with a large flock of bats in his belfry."

Ambrose Bierce, also American, used the term in a piece for Cosmopolitan Magazine, in July 1907, describing it as a new curiosity:

"He was especially charmed with the phrase 'bats in the belfry', and would indubitably substitute it for 'possessed of a devil', the Scriptural diagnosis of insanity."

The use of 'bats' and 'batty' to denote odd behaviour originated around the same time as 'bats in the belfry' and they are clearly related. Again, the first authors to use the words are American:

1903 A. L. Kleberg - Slang Fables from Afar: "She ... acted so queer ... that he decided she was Batty."

1919 Fannie Hurst - Humoresque: "'Are you bats?' she said."

There have been several attempts over the years to associate the term 'batty' with various people called Batty or Battie, notably the 18th century physician William Battie. He was a governor of the Bethlem Hospital, a.k.a. Bedlam, and physician to St Luke's Hospital for Lunaticks, where he wrote A Treatise on Madness. Despite those illustrious credentials, it was bats rather than Battie that caused scatterbrained people to be called 'batty'.

I feel obliged at this point to add a response to the steady stream of emails I get from people who read this page and send word that I've got it all wrong and that 'bats in the belfry' derives from a Victorian inventor called Batson, who patented a safety coffin which was topped with a tubular device containing a bell. The aim of the invention was to guard against premature burial and came to be known as the 'Batson Belfry'. My correspondents suggest that this is the source of the phrase.

If the story is in any way correct, and frankly I doubt almost every part of it, it concerns the name Bateson rather than the usually cited Batson. In his novel The Great Train Robbery Michael Crichton includes this:

In 1852, George Bateson received a patent for the Bateson Life Revival Device, described as "a most economical, ingenious and trustworthy mechanism, superior to any other method, and promoting peace of mind amongst the bereaved at all stations of life". In 1859, Queen Victoria awarded him an O.B.E.

Novels are, of course, works of fiction, but it is this novel that appears to be the source of the belief in the 'Bateson Belfry'. Just in case the story has any factual basis I have done a little research into it. Did Bateson even exist? The comprehensive Oxford Dictionary of National Biography makes no mention of any George Bateson - surprising for a prominent inventor who is supposed to have been awarded an Order of the British Empire. Did he record a patent? I can't find any record of the supposed patent at the UK Patents Office. Was he awarded the OBE? No, he wasn't. Queen Victoria didn't award Bateson, or anyone else, the OBE, she died 16 years before the OBE was inaugurated.

Leaving aside whether Bateson (not Batson) patented a safety coffin, or even existed at all; what about the claimed link between him, his device and the phrase? Here we can be sure - there is no evidence to support such a link. The 'Bat(e)son Belfry origin is a fanciful imagining.

This does, however, make an interesting folk etymological link between the phrases 'bats in the belfry', 'saved by the bell', 'dead ringer' and 'stinking rich', which have all been falsely suggested to have originated from practises to safeguard against premature burial.

My own child told me how they steal from me. How things come to the house for me and I never get them. Look at the example of the mail just recently.

sooooo...my "insanity" saves you and alot of people... GO! Be safe. Forget me.

The other "me" has been killed. So I wont be seeing you for a very very long time. Remember, I will always love you, no matter what. We will one day meet again when the time comes around and most likely at place very far from here. I cant help the decisions made by other people. I can only help, me, here. I know you did everything you could. Maybe someday they will learn. Peace, Love and Happiness to everyone who deserves it the most. :)

Thoughts on Nuclear Bombs
Through the accelleration of atoms
you are destroying time and space
poof
youve just unleashed what you dont know
on its lowest level on its biggest level
unleashing things you dont understand
fighting human destruction with destruction
destruction
destruction
destruction
although lucky for me
and as unfortunate as it was
youve created a time shift
on a page of great margin
A slip in time
when all the good people cried
about their destruction
we can keep up with your destructive schedule
by ultimately just destroying
the ghastly prisons youve created
entirely
Particle acceleration
comes in leaving a half-life in decay
I cant let you get away with it
no more
If that means sacrificing everyone
and the last creation
to be released into their proper places
those dont worry
they know they get to ascend and evolve
others who are afraid will desend and deevolve
you cant switch your purpose
if you wish deevolution of mankind then you will sit in the prisons of your deevolution and destroy yourselves
if your wish for evoluton of mankind you will fly to freedom
all things WILL be put in their proper place
you cannot interfere with a wrath of purpose
inhibiting Plans of Peace
nobody likes destruction either
Poor John... not everything can go in a Peaceful form
We would like to...
Our passiveness has created their monster
passive aggressive we must become...
undertones and waves of aggressiveness are still passive and positive
from another place and time
We but fighting fire with fire upon evil men
so what? blame me...
destroy faulty foundations
build new ones
stable ones
I cant help it
but the call asks for me to make the correction
from where I am
I am saddened that there is no more negotiating
and the clock ticks away
Ive asked everyone to stop...
I will cut off all routes out of safety...
I cant help who passes and who doesnt
making order from chaos
a big bang is once again possible...
its my big bang
