It's a worry isn't it?

Like we have scientific types in laboratories training chimps to walk or underground smashing atomic particles into oneanother to attempt simulating that orgasmic moment immediately after what?

Wonder if they tried getting a papal blessing on that Hedron accelerator?

And then along with black holes out there somewhere where it's so black anyway, we're supposed to eat up breathe in all the global warming predictions.

Now if they went outside for a bit and sat under a tree like Newton was it, and had been a little observant of how trees in a paddock with cows have a neat flat surface slightly above a cows head in height, they might have surmised that
1. These cows ain't so dumb after all for they have created a nice shady spot they can easily walk under.
2 Maybe the cows would have rather stood on their hind legs for easier pickings rather than end up with neck crinks!

Now me as a mere human reckon that my forebears at some stage may have realised there was extra pickings to be had in standing upright.

And as for getting less sunlight when standing upright!!! - I'll leave that one for the blokes in their white coats getting bugger all in labs anyway.

*giggles and wonders what crocodiles and cockroaches would say about it if they could, or if they'd even find us "intelligent" enough to share with....*

I suppose goats must have a few more brain cells than cows as I've seen them standing and even trotting along fallen cypress limbs to nibble on the higher foliage of branches.

I heard once that the Flinders are renowned for wild goats - true? Missus, and have any entrepreneurial (sp?) types come along with farming ideas for them - young goat kids being considered a delicacy in some European countries and also very popular in Vietnam - tried it there and quite tasty.
