Unfurled

And not writing about the laments of people too old, too young, too wrapped up in their own heads.

So today I shall list the 5 facts about sheep, Blackberries and Spaniards:
1. Female sheep are ewes, intact males are rams, castrated males are wethers, yearlings are hoggets, and younger sheep are lambs.

2. Using a Blackberry as an alarm clock leaves you with three options: A. Snooze, B. Dismiss, C. Do nothing, which is really the same as an Infinite Snooze since the alarm stops and waits silently for you to select A or B.

3. A yearling is any animal that is anywhere from 12 to 24 months old. That makes sense. This is different from shearling which is either: A. A yearling that has been shorn once, or B. The wool from said shorn yearling.

4. Milk-fed lamb is the meat of newborn sheep up to 6 weeks old. Lamb is the meat of sheep a month to a year old. Hogget is the meat of 1-2 year old sheep. and mutton can be the meat of either goat or old sheep. Milk-fed lamb is generally unavailable in the US, but is available in Spain.

5. I’ve heard they eat newborn pigs too.
