We all know that if something appears in a book, or newspaper, or both (Wow! Both? Yes, both!) that it MUST be true; therefore, I refer you to page 125 of the book by Scott Adams titled: It's Obvious You Won't Survive by Your Wits Alone. In answer to a series of questions Dogbert points out that heart attacks come from eating too many cows, that the California drought can be traced to water subsidies for cows, and that cow gas is a cause of global warming; he then assures Ruebert that cows are better organized than one would think. Now, this leads to several logical conclusions: 1. that cow-tipping ferrets are attempting to save the world, 2. that they are trying to saveCalifornia in particular, 3. that the cows are paying off certain CA, NYC, DC, Sierra Club, and HSUS officials, 4. that the AHA and AHS are incorruptible, and 5. that in recent years they could no longer pay off MA, MI and NH officials. It is time the people of oppressed areas woke up and heard the cow bells, folks! This was typed by Sukie in her sleep after I hypnotized her. If you want to verify this do not go to pseudoscientists like astrologers, numerologists, and psychics. Ask your ferret!!! Meltdown PS The source of the 'ferrets kill cows' garbage was an old worry/myth (also asserted for prairie dogs, ground-nesting owls, and a host of other critters) that ungulates, being so very stupid,would repeatedly break legs in holes and croak (and that any type of ferret would go feral and make tons of holes, which does not mesh with reality), but ungulates are not that stupid (at least not often), as Daisy cow will now prove: Hello, I am Daisy; you will remember me from many ancient commercials. One thing has really bothered me about some recent posts. People are again confusing viverids such as the mongoose, with mustelids such as Meltdown. Oh, and Bob, I would have enjoyed horizons given (Heck, I am not perfect, even though I am a cow; therefore, like everyone I know somethings and lack in others.) in the NW to OW to NW Mustelids through the Ages post (but S. will ask for those refs. for me when she has a chance to write). Speaking of origins, we got into Waar... here a few years before FURO, right after a Science News article on same. At the time it was an oft repeated progression. [Posted in FML issue 1427]
