"A creepy string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado has a rancher and law enforcement investigators mystified.
Four calves have been found dead in a pasture just north of the New Mexico state line in recent weeks.
The dead calves had their skins peeled back and organs cleared from the rib cage. One calf had its tongue removed.
But rancher Manuel Sanchez has found no signs of human attackers, such as footprints or ATV tracks. And there are no signs of an animal attack by a coyote or mountain lion . Usually predators leave pools or blood or drag marks from carrying away the livestock.
Cows don`t get any respect, if the comical-looking animals aren`t tipped when they are asleep, they are killed and mutilated by unknown entities. Is it any wonder that cows are susceptible to Mad Cow disease? Hell I`d be mad also if people messed with me while I was sleeping or if they cut off my ears and toes.
Rancher Sanchez must have failed Logic 101, he doesn`t find any empty beer bottles in the vicinity of the mutilated cows, so obviously they must have fallen victim to extraterrestrial hooligans..."
No, that comes from drinking the water....
See, this is a common misconception.
The true fact of the matter is that the cows are somehow attracted to the UFO's. Similar to the way deer are drawn to my front bumper. Speed seems to increase the magnet-like pull in most instances.
So... Perhaps a UFO is a Cow Magnet ???
I'm Joe's attorney. Since Joe can't talk due to having his tongue removed during an alien abduction at a young age, he has instructed me to engage in a brief conversation with you on his behalf.
So, Joe says "HI"..........

We believe that "One picture is worth ten thousand words."
Its Tao:
One look is worth a thousand words.
Fred R. Barnard, in Printers' Ink, 8 Dec., 1921, p. 96.(now known as Marketing/Communications).
and called it "a Chinese proverb, so that people would take it seriously."
It was immediately credited to Confucious.
This saying first appeared in a 1921 ad in Printer's Ink [sic] which was written by publicist Frederick Barnard. Barnard headlined his ad `One look is worth a thousand words.' He attributed this maxim to `a famous Japanese philosopher.' Six years later, Barnard revised the saying to read `One picture is worth ten thousand words,' and then republished it in the same magazine as a `Chinese proverb.' Barnard thought his ploy would give his words added weight. He was right. For a time, Bartlett's identified Barnard's line as `a Chinese proverb.' Other sources attributed his proverb to Confucius. The Macmillan Dictionary of Quotations had it both ways. They cited Barnard as the maxim's author, adding `Ascribed to Chinese origin.'"
Words form a picture:
A picture forms a thousand words:
A picture worth seven words:
A picture not worth one word:
A picture worth 1,000 screams:
Words worth 1,000 pictures:
What Confucius never said:
Confucius say...
Passionate kiss, like spider, lead to undoing of flyConfucius say...
Man who stand on toilet, high on pot.Confucius say...
Better to be pissed off than pissed on.Confucius say...
Butcher who back into meat grinder get a little behind in his orders.Confucius say...
He who live in glass house, dress in basement.Confucius say...
Man who stand on street corner with hands in pockets, not feeling crazy, feeling nuts.
What Confucius did say:
"When things are investigated, then true knowledge is achieved;When true knowledge is achieved, then the will becomes sincere;
When the will becomes sincere, then the heart sees correctly;
When the heart sees correctly, then the personal life is cultivated;
When the personal life is cultivated, then the family life is regulated;
When the family life is regulated, then the national life is orderly;
And, when you are hungry, and no one is looking, eat, drink, be merry ... and post images.
Rubbish.
