Milking Cows

[angusfaldo]

I'm baffled by this one.

Who was the first person in the history of the modern world to milk a cow. And at the time of this first event, what exactly did the guy think he was doing?

[ultimasimon]

Cant see why, after all primitive man must have seen animals eating eggs and thought "hmmm I will try some of those".

he probably thought 'hey today is officially the start of the modern world, however i'll just do what i did yesterday, in the ancient world - milk this cow'

seriously tho, women have these things called breasts, we all used to feed from them. cows have the same thing, it's no great leap

Ouch! Like a steak through the heart.

It's how pigeons differentiate between bits of 'food' and small bits of gravel, dust, lighter flints etc that baffles me.

Though that should give you a clue as to why some choose to drink milk.

What also baffles me is geophagia.

[lotuslad]

Come on, let's not fight. I've got no beef with either of you.

Scraping the bovine barrel now

It would have been part of the transition from hunter gatherer to agrarian society.

What did moths do for entertainment before there was electric light?

Birds eat gravel anyway to help them digest their food. I suspect their selection has a lot to do with smell.

Seagulls must not have a sense of smell. They eat anything. Cigarette ends, windscreen wipers, the lot. They are also not scared to steal it out of your hand.

They used to crap on cow udders.

Thats how the whole milking thing came about. Farmer tried wiping moth crap off udder and discovered the milking process we know of today.
