Introducing...

Cattle look like they can be sweet, but I don't think they have a lot of brains in there

I resent that statement. I grew up on a dairy farm, and have spent a lot of time around cattle. I've come to respect them, as people respect horses.

We rent land off of a couple, and they have an unaltered bull. He is the sweetest thing. Whenever I need to go into the pen to get water, he comes up to me and demands a head scratch. The owners can't bring themselves to slaughter him, because he's just too friendly.

However, getting into a pen with a breeder bull is kind of stupid.

I resent that statement.

Oh, hey! I don't mean to offend you.

Lack of brains doesn't necessarily mean I don't respect the animal. Sometimes I like the animals missing a few IQ points better. They are all unique and deserving of admiration despite intelligence and other qualities. I love my chickens and chickens are known to be not the brightest bulbs in the factory.

Know what I mean?

The smell of formaldehyde made me so hungry. I was so freaked out by it that I refused to eat anything for the rest of the day. I thought there was something wrong with me! I ended up asking my A&P teacher whether that was normal or not, and apparently it is really common.

Seriously? That's CRAZY! I've never heard of anything like that! I wonder what the physiology behind that is....? (I'm SUCH a nurse! LOL!)

Formaldahyde causes damage to the neurological system in large doses; however, in small doses the formaldahyde odor may cause hunger or excessive thirst or severe headaches.
