found it on snopes.

I called it.

Still, it's somehow disappointing to know that a large segment of the
population cannot not recognize the difference between sheep and
poodles.

Way to go, Hanson. You had to attempt to wreck this group by posting
or, hey, reposting that link.

Boo hoo.

Did he even had to look? :-) I mean, would you believe it if it were
about residents of Kansas? (nothing special about it, it's just a nice
state right in the middle). Sheeps do have hoofs and stuff...

Hmm... well, but so are Japanese, aren't they? No wait, that's not
it - they eat with a pair of sticks. I tried to harass my Japanese
postdoc about why can't she eat with a fork like us NORMAL people, but
that didn't go too well.
