There was an article in the paper last night about a study someone just did. Studied images of cows all over the world and saw that 67% of the time, they are oriented N-S. This is rather strange when you consider that there are 180 ways they could orient themselves, and so the probability that they will choose one particular direction is less than 1%, (This assumes that an E-W orientation, for example, is the same as a W-E, and so it cuts 360 degress in half to 180.)


My theory is that they are facing the North Pole, watching for Santa Claus. They have a lot of patience.
