Subject: Sheep in the news

Story going around the net about a Russian spy ship that sank after a
collision with a barge. A barge full of sheep.

This article quotes a former Black Sea Fleet commander being surprised that
the ship actually sank rather than just being damaged. I suggest that
the real surprise should be that there were any survivors :-)

No, no, they didn't... Okay, Jon, someone asked for figs. The ball's in your
court. (GAWD, I hate sports cliches!) To think, the only thing to get this
list going, is... sheep.
