There's a theory that they were affected by mold on their rye, causing Ergot poisoning.

End summary:
This is more of a random rant: So yesterday I got flipped off from a semi-driver. I love their sense of entitlement with the road. I was passing him and as I was side-by-side with the trailer (had a trailer myself), he proceeds to veer into my lane with a turn signal on, forcing me to go off the road a little bit. As I passed him he flips me the bird and gets all ****** off and gets on his radio. He then passes me going 80. I just couldn't believe he expected me to slow down and let him in as I was already next to him.
This has happened to me a number of times. End result, I despise semi's.

Around here, it's called BS, MS, PhD, which stands for bull ****, more **** and piled higher & deeper...
Although it does sound based on your point of view that the truck driver was in the wrong in this situation, you would have a much different general opinion if you were to ever a drive one.
This has always made me wonder:
What if the colors we all see aren't the same? I know the color green because ever since I was little I was told that color was green. What if when you look at something I would call green, you actually see my red, but to you, it's green?

My father is red-green colorblind; the father of my boys was red-green colorblind; my younger son is red-green colorblind (although that's his grandfather's fault, not his father's fault). However, because of my ex's dominant colorblind gene and my being a carrier through my father, if we had had daughters, they would have had a 50/50 chance of being colorblind. Fairly rare to have a colorblind girl.
Simply put, after living with colorblind people all my life, I can guarantee you they don't see their surroundings the way people with normal color-vision do.
Hubby makes fun of me for this one, but my family raised beef cattle...specifically Herefords.
The Chik-fil-A commercials bug the heck out of me because the cows that are encouraging you to eat more chicken (and presumably less beef) are Holsteins...a DAIRY breed.
Yes...they just had one on the tv...

someone in my gym class had his locker broken into, but nothing was stolen, instead the breaking in guy wore the gym clothes and then put them back in the guys locker.
MRI's have to be one of the hardest things to do. If you can sit completely still through the entirety of the scan you deserve a medal.
They don't get milk out of the steers. I was once told by a dairy farmer that most of Mcdonalds beef is Holstein.
Had one done a month or so ago and I fell asleep in it. Exception and not the norm, I know.
Hamburger's about all it's good for. Look at the ribs, hips, shoulders of a beef breed vs a dairy breed & tell me you aren't going to get more steaks & roasts off the Hereford or Angus than you will off the Holsetin or Guernsey or Jersey.
Nothing against dairy (talking to you, cowgirl!) but they aren't exactly bred for muscle mass & marbling.

That's why I believed the dairy farmer. Low quality beef? Sell it to Mcdonalds.
