There is something strange going on here and I am at a loss to explain it. You may have noticed that Wayne has discovered a way to manipulate the desktop publishing program so that the newsletter is in a two-column format instead of just printing from left to right on the paper as we did in school. This looks neat and professional--just like a newspaper and most other newsletters. But for some reason when we print all the news in the two-column format there is space leftover. Why is this??We have the same amount of stuff and the same size of paper. The trigonometry of the thing just escapes me.
But here's a public service announcement that should take up the extra space:
Scientists have come up with a way to cross Hereford cattle with an ostrich. The real challenge here was to find a bull with a lot of imagination and a really good-natured bird. Blindfolding them is a good idea. This produces a great meat animal; half white meat and half lean beef with drumsticks like you wouldn't believe.
The Herefrich has very, very long legs so they can move from place to place in nothing flat. This saves the trouble and expense of moving them by trailer. The tough part is retraining your cattle dogs. They have to be taught to operate a motorcycle in order to keep up with the herd.
Next month we plan to tell you how to train buffalo as household pets. If you start working with them early on, they can be taught to catch mice.
