December 22, 2006: Bonus image: a temporary cross-species adoption
 

http://cellar.org/2006/cowsmilk.jpg

Wolf pointed out in today's previous IotD that I'd not posted an animal image, and here it's Friday. My mistake! First such mistake ever! The holiday season threw me off.

As a bonus then, here is this very fine shot which comes with no further information. It's not typical IotD fodder since this adoption is probably not a permanent arrangement, which turns this from mind-bogging into merely cute. But that's good enough for a bonus image. Happy Friday.

I love it. I don't care what anyone says...cows are totally cute!

What sig line?

Just messin' Couldn't help it.

I knew that was coming. ;)

moo cow and lambie ... awwwwwwww.

Got mint jelly?

Your sig line: Writer's Almanac? I told everyone I could about that line.

If you mean the current Flaubert one I have it hanging in my office; not sure where I got it.

The one LR was referring to was my spoof on hers. Better left un re-said. :)

Yeah, Flaubert was on writer's almanac the other day.

Oh...great quote, huh?

But the sheep sucks. :haha:

"And the lion shall lay down with the lamb"...especially now that he's milk fed and extra tender.

Yeah, but the problem with the Capitoline Wolf is that while the wolf itself may date to the 5th century BC (Etruscan bronze), the infants Romulus and Remus were added in the 15th century AD... It's like drawin' a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Which might be cool to do, admittedly, but it's sorta historically inaccurate.
