billytea proves that he knows shit about something:
So, I'm guessing you understand, but offhand I'd say it's because the horse doesn't ruminate, so the grass is less fully processed, and the deer rely more on speed as their modus operandi, so don't want to get weighed down with a digestive system as heavy-duty as the cow's. The cow, OTOH, relies more on size and numbers for protection, which lets it pursue economies of scale and process down to the last blade huge quantities of grass at one time. Result: high-volume waste, ready at the same time.
Some comments from Allyson on the aforementioned low-speed car chase in LA:
We should have a car chase thread so we don't spoil people.
AND
The news should edit in the CGI buffalo. The ratings would be so worth it. Or, they could edit in Jow Millionaire getting run down, over and over.
Betsy, in Literary, after a little topic drift:
Down, down, with people
They do all the stupidest stuff
Down, down with people
They're rhinestones in the rough.
With less people the mess, people
would be be reduced to nil
We'd have a lot less reason to snark on the boards
And a lot more reason to chill.

But I am deeply disturbed that Willow is getting involved with someone named Kennedy. All her previous relationships have been with people named for fictional places, and I was really hoping she'd end up with someone named Manderley or Narnia or something.
Heh, Vortex, was just about ot post that and somethign else...

Jess PMoon:
Maybe Kennedy's a nickname, and she's actually named Camelot...
heh, Meara :) I posted before Jess replied.
lauramb: Um, well, I'm ignoring the obvious visual there. Beyond that, just wondering what else a Magic Joss Ball would say. Grr?
TonyG:...Ask ME later?
juliana (I think), in response to "ordinary feral blackberry":
This gave me mental pictures of packs of previously domesticated blackberries slipping their leashes and roving the neighborhood, overturning tartlet pans and leaving stains wherever they roam.
