Are there cows that don't have horns?

Yup. Ironically, the cite that sealed the deal was Texan. Austin, even.

Surprisingly—for us city folks at least—cows (that is, mature female cattle) can have horns! In fact, there are several cattle breeds in which the cows have horns. To name just a few: the Danish Red, the White Park, and the Texas Longhorn.

Having horns works both ways; that is, cattle without horns can be bulls. The Angus and the Red Poll are examples of breeds that are hornless, be they cow or be they bull!

He was all "udders mean no horns!" I hate when people make me question something I'm sure I know. Thank dog for google.

That's better than a poster, sarameg!

Also, cute!

Lori and I are going to an Imax showing (I think) of the imax she's in on Saturday. I've been enjoying listening to all the extendo-rover birthday coverage.

My default texas song? Lyle Lovett, "That's Right! You're not from Texas!"

So no one knows why the game isn't on New Year's day this year?

Nice gifts, sara!

Perkins, I don't know nothing about no games.

And I would have thought that cows didn't have horns, but I don't think I would have argued it.

We know, just aren't telling you.

Oh, I have to find out when the Science Center is showing that. And find my work ID so I can get in extra cheap. Plus, I need to go play in the kids' workshopthingy again. I love the ball rollercoaster maze doohicky. And I can spend far too much time dorking out with the gyro-in-a-suitcase, staggering around the room.

edit: maybe I should borrow a kid this time, huh?

When I was watching part of the Tournament of Roses parade on Monday morning, they said that, traditionally, the parade is on New Years, but there's also a tradition/rule (not too sure which) that it's never on a Sunday.

Why they delayed the game until Wednesday, I don't know.

msbelle is trying to make me cry.

Polled herefords by definition are a breed without horns, polled meaning hornless.

So no one knows why the game isn't on New Year's day this year?

They delayed the game because the BSC now sets the date of the championship game, not the bowls themselves. As this year's National Championship game is the Rose Bowl (it rotates), the BSC not the Rose Bowl itself decided the date.

And thus, my Ohio roots show.

Okay, question about the Graumann theater in hollywood? Do they ever have footprints that are used that don't actually belong to the actor who signed the block? I'm asking because John Wayne's footprints are smaller than my feet and yet when I look up his height and shoe size, they say he wore a size 11 boot which is NOT possible if those are indeed his footprints in the cement.
