Or is North Just Cooler? by gnifyus :: NR7

Moss grows on the north side of a tree because there is the least amount of sun in that direction. Maybe cows just like to keep their heads cool? Do they turn and face south when it's cooler outside?

t-shirt by wyldeling :: NR6

I want a t-shirt made up with this phrase on it. Of course, it would just generate a lot of weird looks, but I get those anyway when I tell people what I do for a living.
