    Default Red cow

    An article from 1997:
    http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9705/23/red...ref=sitesearch

    Very recently, another such red cow has been born (the granddaughter of Melody, the previous one) and now discovered by Dutch journalists. I just saw it on TV myself, as far as I can tell there's no English article on the web about it yet.

    I honestly hope that people don't start blowing crap up over just the cow.

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    From the article:
    Because of that, a number of influential Israeli journalists and leftist politicians have suggested that the potential harm that Melody represents is perhaps even more serious than the risk of terrorist bombs. They propose that the heifer be destroyed.

    Can anyone see a difference?

    Does anyone think this is proof of ancient trade links?

    Maybe this is a fuss over nothing.

    With the last cow, an orthodox jewish gathered explosives and tried to blow up the Al-Aqsa and Dome of the rock mosques on the Temple Mount. I'd say it's a big fuss over nothing.

    Conclusion: the nuts don't take days off.

    The last temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D., and Melody is believed by many to be the first red heifer born in Israel since that time.
    ...see ?

    The local rabbi, Shmaria Shore, had to quash the idea that Melody might be the Messiah, pointing out that the Messiah could not be a cow.
    But at least some folks keep it real.

    I'm sorry but this is bovanism at it's rawest. This isn't a million miles away from what the [Godwins Law inserted] were trying to do.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    No, not at all. He specifically referred to moo cows. Hence bovinism.

    Bet you the nasty man wouldn't let a camel or mouse be the Messiah either. Ergo, speciecism.

    You're right. I was 'just acting the goat' but a search revealed this.

    Word came down from those at the summit of the bovine bureaucracy that the museum is to put an end to this practice and from now on cows would be given non-gender-specific names. Like Dynamite. Or Rhubarb. Which has set off a rhubarb in the letters to the editor columns of Ottawa’s daily newspapers and has provided more than enough forage for writers to explore this precious example of the kind of bureaucratic buffoonery that beggars even the most vivid of imaginations.
