LOL! This reminded me I have a question that to date I have not yet been able to get a satisfactory, logical answer:

"Why are there more horses asses than there are horses in our world?"

Definition of a horse show: Horses showing their asses to a bunch of horse asses showing their horses.

And the exhaust is mushroom food, and liquid fertilizer, uh oh, also some of that nasty, dangerous green-horse gas, CO2. At least it runs on renewable fuel. I hear tell that these animals also make good companions on the trail. You will need that based on L.A. to NYC travel time. Better have a plan to work while away from office on that one.

Here's to a better world waiting for us all somewhere down the line!

That thing looks like it rolled straight out of "And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street". Or perhaps "If I Ran the Zoo".

I saw this yesterday somewhere, but the part I took away from the article/video was the idea of managing evaporation, conserving water, and generating some energy while doing so.
