I now give you time to discuss my species. Mods, feel free to make this thread a sticky.

Cows are cute, I love driving up north and seeing all the cows on the hills....

I don't like cows. Sorry.

Good start. We are cute. Much more so than horses, which suck.

My grandfather used to have a farm in Dominican Republic and he had cows. Do.not.like.



I like goats though. They're cute

Cow said:

and you also seem so peaceful, I love how you all hang out in herds. But I do hate talking to you as if you really were a cow.

Cows are great!

7, really now?
I doubt it though....
I sure hope not...

Get back in school!

I like horses...

JessieJ said:

A herd of my friends will be over to "talk" with you shortly to see if we can get you to change your human mind.

I love these ones.

Cow said:

Cows are much uglier than horses, which makes them cuter. I would also much rather eat a cow than a horse.

I don't think they are ugly at all! I love thier eyes and long eyelashes!

I love most animals, but neither cows nor horses .

JustErin said:

c'mon, you got that from Lucasfilm!

Does anybody know what they evolved from?

They look like deer that walked out of the woods and got lethargic and bloated from generations of not having predators.

But I know this can't be true. We must have domesticated a tougher, butcher version of them.

I like your ass. Seriously. It's the tastiest part to eat (after cooking).

Imago said:

They must be related to deer at some level. They're grazers with hooves. And I think they probably do have predators. But their size helps to make up for their lack of speed, I think.

NDRU said:

I saw one of these at a farm once and he shy'd away from everyone until I came over then he walked up to me. I immediately gave up eating all meat. I only lasted about 9 months...but even now, I hardly eat it and when I do it's only in the form of a hamburger now and then.

A partial list of things cows invented (and humans took the credit for):

velcro
glass bottles
parking meters
slide rules
lawnmowers
steam engines
vinyl siding
bell-bottoms (sorry about that one)
rocket fuel
Google
segways
clogs
polyester
the game of cricket

I'm serious. This is just a partial list. Google it. I mean "Moogle it" actually, because that is what we originally called it.

NDRU said:

Let me see if I can digest that...

ArielB said:

Say that again. I didn't quite hear you.

Cow said:

Well, you take one of the cheeks, cut some holes, shove garlic in them, put it in an oven tray, put some butter on top, some seasoning, and let it cook for about 40 minutes. yummy!

yum

NDRU said:

I'm almost certain they shared a past common ancestor.

However, I'm pretty sure the current 'cow' is a modified version of something far more agressive, like the buffalos in Africa. The 'dodo' bird evolved from lack of enemies. I think cows in the wild never had that luxury. It's probably close to the domestication of dogs and cats--those fuckers are mostly useless minus a few breeds.
