Ostriches

In keeping with animals:
ostriches: whats the deal there?

I mean they hide their heads in sand when they are scared- that's real smart. Predators will be fooled.

They eat stones- clearly an indication of their small brains.

But the real bafflement is: If ostriches are poultry read: bird meat, then why is their meat red?

The cow

They cant naturally turn around and have to walk in a big arc to go back they way they came. They eat grass, throw it up, then eat it again. In Hinduism it is a holy animal. Today's question is

Where the hell did cows come from?

It does not seem logical that the cow slipped through the evolutionary net. They have no natural predators. They have little horns that they can't really use.

There has been talk of the cow being a domesticated buffalo. Buffalos are fast and are hectic in a stampede. Ever seen a cow in a stampede?

I think we take too many things for granted. For example, how do they make whisks? More precisely, how are the different metal parts joined? Are they joined together using tension or are they welded together? A fairly simple question right? But what's the answer?

So the task of this blog is simple: to interogate the little things that go unnoticed in our lives. All are welcome to contribute but there is one rule:

1. No use of google or any form of referencing. All 'answers' must be through some attempt at reason and/or logic.
