Blessed rats !!. One says that rats are numbering more than humans. Possible, because in Rajasthan (India), inside an ancient temple a bit decayed, people keep nourrishing sacred rats. Both among all these bare feets an rats wandering about, it is not really easy to place it a foot but the exhibition of faithful people nourrishing them is unique in India ; left hand picture, the time of a good milk sip.. hibis André M.

Tile on house frontage.. "In Gonfaron the asses fly", one says in the south of France.
It is a hardly buckled allusion to qualify somebody of idiot..

But I do not know history of white ass..  hibis

The largesthorse on earth, 6 feet 6 inches to the withers (base of its neck). What couldn't be a problem for the woman with her 1,32 metre legs The Enquirer, nineties (USA)

Talking about horses (USA):  in a Amish family, who refuse electricity, they make work fridge and washing machine with mechanical energy produced fromhorses walking on a wooden gear ! Courrier International, september 2010.

A scientist says he observed that the cows have a tendency to turn north to graze. That makes us smile. Observation of a pilot from the Imperial Airways company (1924-1940), had noticed that cows eat "arse-into-wind" (their back offered to the wind), this little detail providing pilots on the direction of wind, useful knowledge for the estimation of a possible drift. A more advise observation that the scientific claim.

Moreover, a study of 1000 cows in different places and different times gave only 12.5% ??ocows grazing northward.

Personally I know nothing about cows but gulls post themselves facing the wind, mainly at night to sleep, which makes sense for their stability and for their plumage to keep hot air.

Canada. Wooden elephant-lighting, in front of a wooden house. Surprising in the country of the bear.  hibis Canada. Funny story for French people : a sign read in French (Canadian) about bear danger : "si vous voyez un ours, rapportez le à la police"  grrr !! (if you see a bear, report it to the police).

It is a mix between French and English, but "report it" is translated by rapporter le, that means in french (France) bring it back !!

Corbels of the King.

If they were to disappear, the kingdom would be plunged in misfortune and chaos. Ravenmaster (Master of the corbels), created by Charles II, is in duty for the good health of these birds which are to be at least 6.
Ox, chickens, liver, eggs boiled, chicks for the daily meals. Rabbits, pheasants on the occasion. That is to say more than 100 kilos per month. proof that their condition (they can no longer flying with their clipped wings), does not cut their appetite. Le Figaro, 05 07
The Queen's Swans

Every year the "Swann Uppers&Markers " list the Thames swans the most seriously in the world . That means that they are property of the Queen since the twelfth century.

We French do not know why the English feel the need to distinguish themselves as well. With their numerous clubs or syndicates (*) , they have created multiple occupations and bonds. Among the most comical are the train tellers. They observe everything that is not listed !! an unknown wagon, hop, in the little notebook. This healthy activity extends to many other areas.   Le Figaro, 05 07
(*) syndicate : association, groupe de gens qui  participent à une activité - exemple : parier, jouer. Sens politique = Trade Union.
