    One theory suggests that a customer at a bar in 18th-century Scotland could order a beer by saying, “How now brown cow?” to the bartender. While the term brown cow referred to a barrel of beer in Scotland, there is little evidence to support this claim

    Well that was pretty useless given the last sentence.

  • Excuse me, why are you erroneously depicting cows as having a radius? We all know that cows, like all objects, are actually point singularities of a given mass. Also, the depiction of the ground texture implies friction and an uneven surface, the color of the sky belies the anomalous presence of air resistance, and the cows are anisotropic in their colouration, and cannot act as the perfect blackbodies we all know them to be.
