If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

If the statue is of the man standing, It was his horse that died.

The bagpipes or 'Porridge Guns' are not a Scottish invention but were in fact introduced to Britain by the Romans! Not so much  Och aye the noo as O sic ad hoc momentum!

They may have brought them Tim, BUT ....WE taught them how to be played properly!  :naughty:

 

 

cheers Iain.

Although identified with Scotland, bagpipes are actually a very ancient instrument, introduced into the British Isles by the Romans. :wave :wave

The Motor car / Internal combustion engine was developed as a solution to inner city pollution when the number of horse and carts required to remove horseshit themselves produced more horseshit than they removed.

And did you know that peanuts are not nuts at all, rather they are members of the Legume family, effectively they are beans.

 

Coming back to the Bull question, and the collection of that substance required to make little bulls, I understand the process involves a large rubber sheath, effectively a massive condom. That reminds me of  story from the World War II, prior to the entry of the United States when they were still openly trading with Nazi Germany. The German Government, in an attempt to frighten off the Americans made an order for condms for their soldiers. Each was to be fifteen inches in length and six in girth. On receiving the order the Alabama factory duly completed it, with each of the profilactic devices neatly wrapped in it's then waxed wrapper, and stamped with the mark "size: MEDIUM"

The bull question

The collection apparatus is more than just a large condom.

 

It consists of a tube which inside has a ruber bladder, this is filled with warm(not Hot) water(this mimics the body temperature of the cow), the collector which is an industrial strength clear rubber tube is attached to the opposite end to the entrance.

The Bull is introduced to a cow who is in season and the apparatus is substituted for the cow all held by men in white coats

 

Possibly how the great saying Come And Get it started !

By the time you are 70 you will have easily drunk over 12,000 gallons of water. And a lot of that water would have been passed through a dinosaur

 

Water is the only substance on earth that is lighter as a solid than a liquid.

 

Your brain is 80% water so remember your brain is also partly Dinosaur Pee
