FYI

I know you've all been sittin' around wondering the exact same things that I have been recently, so I thought I'd share the deep and analytical research findings of my very hard-at-work-googling efforts in this post. You can thank me later.

Q: What is a teat? Isn't it just some funky way of pronouncing 'TIT'? Y'know, you don't 'twist a tit', you 'twist someone's teat'.

A: In fact, a teat is a real word, as an alternative word for a nipple or breast. It is the projection from the udder through which milk is discharged. Teats are also called papilla mammae. So the next time you try to twist your friend's teat, you can use that word correctly, AND with confidence.

Q: Do sheep ever attack?

A: Well, sorry to disappoint, but I still have no conclusive research evidence on this topic. In Texel, it very well seemed that they might be capable of violent attacks, especially when we got nearer and nearer to the baby lambs, but the expression on their faces teetered back an forth between 'aware-angry- and ready to kick some human ass' and just plain ol' 'hey molly do you see something or is it my glaucoma??'

Note: I failed my mission to touch a baby lamb in Texel. They were SOOOOO cute.. but we really didnt' wanna risk a sheep stampede. If anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know!!

Well, my 8 hrs are up, I'm running out into the sunshine!! If you have any questions you'd like answered, drop me a line...Tot volgende keer :)
