Pigs have wings, too...

(true, chuckle)


  In an article about the merits of zoos, the Georgia Straight, a free
Vancouver weekly, reports

      Dr. Peter Crowcroft of the department of zoology at the University of
   Texas is a former director of zoos. In a UBC lecture earlier sponsored
   by the Vancouver Institute earlier this year, he said: "You cannot
   overestimate the ignorance of the average person. We once did a very
   interesting experiment. We had an empty pen with a barn at the back. We
   left the barn door open and put up a sign that read: 'UNICORN. EXTINCT
   DUE TO EDUCATION. FEEDS ON FLOWER PETALS. ATTRACTED TO VIRGINS.' Most
   people that came along tried to peer in the open door, convinced that
   the unicorn was hiding somewhere in the barn. Except for one little boy
   who said to his father, 'But Daddy! There's no such thing.' To which
   Daddy replied, 'Don't be stupid. Can't you read the sign?'"
