When I use it, which is rare, I use it sarcastically because when they took away the LOL I thought we "agreed" that's how it would be the new lol.

And I thought that belief had been reinforced whenever I saw other people use it... the idea that some people might have been using it literally is worrying to say the least!

Lol, looking at the reactions to responses here, this thread is the best place to farm insightfuls for sure xD

Agreed. It seems Rohamad_Ali hit the best farm tactic with those facts as well, so here are some cow facts, why cows? Because cows are awesome (which is also a button, hint hint).

1. Cows are social animals, and they naturally form large herds. And like people, they will make friends and bond to some herd members, while avoiding others
2. Cows are red-green colorblind. In a bullfight, its the waving of the cape that attracts the bull not the red color
3. A cow’s heart beats between 60 and 70 beats per minute
4. Cows can hear lower and higher frequencies better than humans.
5. An average dairy cow weighs about 1,200 pounds.
6. A cows normal body temperature is 101.5°F.
7. The average cow chews at least 50 times per minute.
8. The typical cow stands up and sits down about 14 times a day.
9. An average cow has more than 40,000 jaw movements in a day.
10. Cows actually do not bite grass; instead they curl their tongue around it.
11. Cows have almost total 360-degree panoramic vision.
12. Cows have a single stomach, but four different digestive compartments.
13. Cows are pregnant for 9 months just like people
14. A dairy cow can produce 125 lbs. of saliva a day
15. Cows spend 8 hours per day eating, 8 hours chewing her cud (regurgitated, partially digested food), and 8 hours sleeping
16. You can lead a cow upstairs, but not downstairs. Cows knees can’t bend properly to walk downstairs.
17. Cows can’t vomit
18. The average cow drinks 30 to 50 gallons of water each day
19. The average cow produces 70 lbs. of milk. That’s 8 gallons per day!
20. Cows only have teeth on the bottom
21. Cows have a great sense of smell. They can smell something up to 6 miles away
22. Dairy cows are economic job creating machines! 1 dairy cow creates 4 full time jobs in the local community
23. A Holstein’s spots are like a fingerprint. No two cows have exactly the same pattern of black and white spots. They are all different
