Why can't you believe it? I'm just not gullible enough to accept things at face value, especially when they come through degrees of seperation. IMO it's a shame more people don't think that way.

I suppose 4 guys on horseback would've yielded the same results - but they were all at work, trying to make enough money to support their wives' horse-riding hobby...
Sometimes women can solve things men can't because they don't think along the terms of brute force.

Did you hear about the horses that were trapped for 3 days on a tiny piece of land in wind and rain in the Netherlands in November?
It had the nation mesmerized, watching about 100 horses huddle against the wind and watching 18 of them die. First firemen, then the Dutch army tried to rescue them, both unsuccessfully.

100 horses wade through ankle deep water. Total waste of time, especially considering horses are strong swimmers.
A real anticlimax after seeing Attenborough's recent documentary following a young wildebeest through it's migration through Tanzania and Kenya.

"The nearest land was only a few hundred metres away but there were fears that submerged barbed wire might hurt the horses if they tried to swim to safety."

Also, I don't really like your tactic of attacking the character of people who disagree with you. This is something you have employed numerous times in the past, with Noodles, No1Marauder, Xanthos, etc, etc. Now, to be honest, your posts where you show your feminine side "Oh, I'm soooo ashamed of myself because I just ate a cheese burger", your sexist postings, where you call random women "babe", and your devious method of extracting women's home addresses by sponsoring a tournament give me the impression that you could be a rapist or at the very least a stalker, but I don't think it's in the nature of these forums to bring these impressions into the public eye.
Continue to attack people by calling them alcoholics, man-haters, etc, but, to be honest, it just shows you to be the bitter, twisted, little, dirty old man that you really are.
Have a good one.
