Subject: RE: [gentoo-dev] Larry the Cow
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 15:08:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b97001c1e550$4018b530$7735bcc3@blueyonder.net> (raw)

well, for me and my purfeck englash.

cow = any gender
cow = female cow
bull = male cow
cattle = collection of any gender cows

unless you drink boddingtons beer, then things get very confusing!

(For the non uk beer drinkers - In the ad's they use a animated cow which goes out drinking,
one with the women ;-) etc, but its got an udder!)

so to answer your question. larry is a cow. (IMHO).

I'm new to gentoo, but why a cow? Ive got nothing against cows, its a very nice cow, just wondering if there is
a good story behind the decision.
