The application of human characteristics to things which are not human. That is not to say that pigs and chickens do not feel, but to attempt to equate the workings of their minds to ours is, while natural and inevitable in our species, pointless and egotistical. I hope the cows think better of us than we do of them. While anthropomorphism is an interesting theory, it may or may nor be fact. That is, it maybe right or it may be wrong i this case; the work done in the referenced URL gives support to the notion it does not apply in this instance. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org http://www.mbz.org | Mercedes Mailing lists: http://lists.mbz.org 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | Killies, killi.net, Crypts, aquaria.net 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Old wris****ches http://watches.list.mbz.org
