It’s the capacity for this kind of wrongness that keeps man at the top of the food chain.

I’m not exactly certain how you mean that, but I wholeheartedly agree!

In Holland, Bevis and Butthead are named Arjen and Bert.

“Heh, heh, Arjen what can we do with this old stuffed cat?”

And the rest is history.

“chasing cows “

I wonder how useful something like this would be for cattle ranchers?

It’s almost as funny as the taxidermy boomerang cat.

Helen Thomas is technically not dead, but I regard this as an engineering issue rather than an ethical one.

They probably sell that shirt at one of those “cafes” in Amsterdam, if you get my drift.

Those guys gotta be high.

The worst thing about this video is having to listen to the Dutch language. Horrible! It hurts my ears.

Looks like a Dutch version of a Hawaiian shirt.

Funniest video I have seen in ages. Dumb cows! Houston is plagued by huge roosting flocks of noisy, messy Mexican grackles. I would love to see their reaction to Orville flying their way!

It’s possible that yours may be the first instance of anyone invoking the concept of ethics in the same sentence as the mention of Helen Thomas.
