Facinating

BUT, What if the Bovine's ONLY faced North or South when they KNEW Google
Earth's Satellites were watching them?

There is an Orphanage down the road that raises Cattle...and those Mooers
are all over the map as far as "Heading" is concerned...BUT they're all hiding
under trees to escape the Sun's Vitriolic Rays...So maybe they feel less duty
to line up North or South since the Satellites cannot see them under the trees.

Interesting ... I wonder if Cow Pill Magnets throw off their internal compass.

I drove past a bunch of farms on my way to and from Manassas today According to my GPS pretty much all the cows were facing North by NE.

Hmmm, maybe it is a conspiracy a'la that South Park episode "Cow Days"

Finally

'Saw the Cows at Bethesda out in the open munching on grass...All were lined
up facing either Northwards or Southwards.

I still maintain the Cows only do that out in the Open when thay know the
Satellites are watching!

This past weekend, I got lost in a more rural area of the town....


Remembering this article, I stopped when I saw a cow and decided to ask it for directions......



Well, it raised its head and looked at me funny....

Walker in rural England. Sees a farmer sitting on a stool milking a cow.
" 'scuse me Sir, do you know the time?'

Oh arr..." he says, lifting the cows udder.."It be 4:30 me ol' dear."

"Hmm" Says the walker..." You can tell the time by lifting the cows udder ? Hows that possible?"

"Well," Says the farmer..".ifn' I lifts it 'igh enough, eyes can see the ol' church clock."
