"They're a curious bunch," she said. "They're kind of like teenagers. And I think they were following this thing around because they couldn't figure out what the heck it was."
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

They look like they are mobbing it. For some reason, cattle don't seem to like small animals - we had a couple of stray kittens that took to following us around and one day they followed us up while we checked on the cattle. The cows went absolutely wild and chased them all over the field - surprised human and feline alike!

\*Not to change the topic, but will people ever realize that most videos look better when shot in landscape mode?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
Better yet, why don't the phone makers just translate the image to landscape automatically?

because the sensor is oriented with the screen, so if the user is holding the phone in portrait mode so is the sensor. Theoretically they could crop ~2/3rds of the data away, but showing that on the phone while in portrait mode would look like crap. Also what happens if the user rotates the phone or holds it at a significant angle while recording. (No. Before you say it, breaking their fingers or fondle slab are not actions the phone maker can take to stop this.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Cattle are the most unpredictable of animals, particularly if they have young. In the UK, it is not unknown for people and particularly dogs to be killed by cattle even when they are using public footpaths. Not that the cattle know they are public footpaths. The cattle will surround the "intruder" and either herd them away from the calves or just trample them. Some years ago, a woman and her dog was herded by cattle into the River Severn near Worcester, when it was running high and fast after heavy rain. The lady's body was finally found miles downstream. They never found the dog.
