- It's a JOKE. Just as the 100k files of "cow art" are meant to be funny
- when they get posted to the net. Believe it or not, SOME people, perhaps
- those of us that work at land-grant universities with lots of cows, DO
- find cow humor funny. Why not horses? Because, for some reason, no one
- passes around 100k files of horse ascii art. Because people don't go
- horse-tipping. Because people don't slow down when passing horses and
- lean out their car windows and go "neigh!" Cows are inherently funnier
- than horses. Don't ask me why.
