Better translation for the expression.

| Mar 16, 2013 at 22:11 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | My problem was understanding the intent behind it. One might also translate it more like “The bird who goes around with a bat wakes up head down”, which is more literal, or “wakes up hanging upside down”, which is the intent and has a nice up–down opposition. | |
