No.....There are four.

Right, I'll work this out.

Me, Mrs T and the MIL = 6
Four Labs                  =16
Six horses/ponies       =24
Nine sheep                 =36..........No, we don't eat them, Mark....They're just organic lawnmowers who cross graze the fields with the gee-gees.
Ten chickens              = 20..........No, we don't eat those either.  ;D ;D

Think that makes 102.

Cheers - Phil (I suppose I could count the MIL's zimmer...That'd be another 4.  X_X)

The reason I ask is that Mrs Orcs used to have  freind with a small holding and teased him about the number of legs.

Thats a lot of Pets

As a complete carnivore, I would find not eating animals I had reared very difficult.  (Yes I do wonder what Mrs Orcs cat would taste like. but I am not suicidal  :))

I fall into the Hugh Fernley-Wasit mode of thinking.  Animals should be looked after very well, fed on what they are suposed to eat, slaughterd humanely and then everything possible used from them.

Would you eat a hamster?   :P
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Yes.  I have eaten mouse in Zambia.

When somebody has very little and offers to share it with you, and you know a refusal will offend you eat what you are presented with.

Then I have, by personal observation, seen that they are wrong :)

Waterfalls being blown upwards are quite spectacular but a sudden change in the wind can result in personal proof that what goes up eventually comes down. Realising the wind was no longer blowing the water up but rather that it was swinging it towards you like a scythe provided a few "interesting moments" to be honest!

The upside of having a waterfall dumped on you is that it provides a perfect excuse to retire to a pub with a roaring log fire and a nice selection of single malts. Not that I need much of an excuse :)
