Cows are Amazing!
Most of us just consider cows to be just farm animals, we should be more thankful for these Bovine creatures; History and political correctness have subdued some of the remarkable things cows have done such as:The obvious, they provide milk (Hard and Soft), meat and leather.
WW2 when parachuted behind enemy lines to confuse the enemy by mooing a lot.
The first creature to climb Mount Everest, reached the summit in June 1937.
Responsible for economic growth in the 3rd World Coffee bean Industry.
Their Feces are part of the American Olympic sport of “chip throwing”.
They are legally allowed to become driving instructors in Arkansas.
They don’t eat seafood and are vegetarians.
They were the inspiration for the “Sound of Music”.
They wrote the Cowa Sutra.
One apparently even jumped over the moon.
Can you think of anything else cows have done for us?

I shan't use your blog as a podium for a topic so dear to my heart. However, I will use it as a medium for issuing a pre-buyers warning.
Moat people buy a kitchen table bases on superficial criteria such as Decorative - will it suit the room. Dimensions - will it fit in the room, etc.
They never base their decision on the one of overriding importance - will it take the body weight of two fully grown adults in motion.
You may scoff, and that is your right, but this is sn important consideration.
Sure, the table only has to carry a couple of plates, a salad bowl and a wine bottle under normal circumstances.
But if that wine bottle is consumed, along with a partner bottle, that table needs to become a reliable weight-bearer.
I shan't go further into detail about activity above
but please,please take note if shopping for a kitchen table.
Lie on it with your partner. If your partner is mot with you. Ask the salesperson to lie with you (a good salesperson should offer before you even have to ask). Bounce on it for a minimum of 10 minutes
if the salesman questions the length of time. Don't take jos phone number if offered.
Then and only then think of the dimensions and decorative value of the table
Sorry for blog hijack Map, but it is sm important topic.
Please also bear in mind the Coefficient of thermal friction when choosing your new table, the fractional expansion per degree C x10^-6 is important as the friction generated during kitchen table copulation can lead to the joints expanding or in rare cases fire.
As this copulation location is very popular, manufacturers do take this into account, I would however warn against any flat-pack tables from Sweden such as the "kopolation" series is not sturdy enough and usage may cause serious injury and of course a lack of space to roll out your pastry.
I simply go for the 'tried and tested' model.
The law does state that if you break something inside a shop you are not responsible, so Im sure that will be good news for you when you replace your current table.
I will point out that should you require a table partner I am available and may waive my usual professional fee provided refreshments are served.
However, my kitchen table is very stable and sturdy, and is liable to remain in situ of some time. Especially since it is being used for little else than dinner service at the moment.
Boviphobia?
I was once chased by some long haired gutterals, It still haunts me to this day, considering it was just yesterday.
Now here is an animal to make Molly's eyes water!
This is the famous bull, innthe 'Bullring Shopping Centre' Birmingham UK.
Us 'Brummies' love him..he even gets dressed up at Xmas!
One example is the reverse cow, here the gentleman will recline on his back and the lady will mount him with her back towards his torso, she will then be able to control the act.
The second example is the "whipped" cream, more for the 50 shades type of couple. (its also the origin of whipped cream as we know it)
really we worship Cow
