In 2004 the sheep on a Yorkshire moor worked out how to cross a cattle grid, and the village below them has not had a safe flowerbed since.
A cattle grid is the simplest idea in farming. A pit across the road with steel bars over it. A hoof cannot grip the bars, so the animal will not cross. It has kept sheep on hills for the best part of a century.
The hill sheep above Marsden, near Huddersfield, looked at theirs for a while.
Then one of them lay down on its side at the edge of the grid and rolled. Over and over, eight feet across the bars, like a soldier going under wire. It got up on the far side and walked into the village.
Others watched and did the same. Within a season the trick had gone through the flock. Villagers woke to sheep on their lawns, in their vegetable plots and browsing the churchyard. A local councillor told the BBC, with some feeling, that they were also clearing five-foot fences and squeezing through eight-inch gaps.
Nobody had taught them. One animal solved the problem and the rest learned it by watching, which is how sheep learn everything, and why a flock knows its own hill.
For as long as there have been jokes about sheep, the joke has been that they follow each other.
At Marsden they followed the one that had cracked it, across a barrier designed by engineers for the sole purpose of stopping them.
@MericaFirst_@dhaevian Bombing school children, kidnappimg presidents, global resource hiest, genocides all kosher, voluntarily fuelling your tax dollars to 10 families, dubious nefarious distinction of bombing the largest number of countries EVER, and being the most hated country are all achievements?
@Rohiteqe@Qwerty1579404@iamharunkhan Oh, pls clarify: Why did you choose to insult old-testement of bacon-diet
Christians - or are you another lost misguided urchin advertising braindead stupidity.
@Rohiteqe@Qwerty1579404@iamharunkhan Besides, if you a theist, consider using theological arguments instead of lazy insults abuses - which get boring pretty quick.
I suspect I need apologize for confusing you with complex ideas.
Watching Dakota Johnson deliver this monologue is hilarious. Her straight face makes everything even funnier. She casually jokes about her failed relationships, takes shots at her musician exes, and somehow makes the whole thing sound like an ordinary conversation.
What makes it work is how naturally she delivers every line. She doesn't seem to be trying too hard to be funny, and that's exactly what makes it entertaining. Even when she gets distracted, she turns it into part of the joke.
The conversation with her therapist was another highlight. From the empty wine bottle to the sleepover and Pedialyte, every little detail makes it funnier.
Dakota has a really good sense of humour. I honestly didn't expect her to be this funny.

Be sincere & respect intelligence - your own too.
The world is disingenious enough, pls.
@SitamarhiJila क्या भारत में महिलाओं का सम्मान किया जाता है?
क्या यह प्यार, प्रशंसा और सम्मान, परिवार के भीतर के यौन संबंधों को दर्शाने वाली शब्दावली में छिपा है?
क्या बहुत से पुरुष अपनी माताओं या बहनों के साथ यौन संबंध बनाना चाहते हैं?
अनोखा प्यार
Can the police log in to your Tinder, Grindr, or Signal?
Our investigation, published on 11 November, examines tenders from Delhi Police and state forensic science labs, with a list of 422 items. Among them:
1) Remote access tokens (digital keys that open your accounts without a password) for dating apps and encrypted services such as ProtonMail and Signal
2) AI that sorts your photos by person and scans them across 14 categories, including tattoos, gender, and age
Police and forensic labs no longer use these tools only where an FIR is registered. At recent Delhi protests, protesters' phones were taken and never returned.
Foreign surveillance tech, and no rule of law to check it. Let us resist India as a Stasiland.
