as a horse rider of pretty much all her life, i find this subject a bit sick! i know people eat meat and all, but personally, i don't want to think about someone eating an animal i'm very fond of! i'm with minigirl & shedonwheels for this one!

No offense, but you didn't have to click on this.

I have nothing wrong with the thought of eating horse meat, but I don't like the way they kill them.

House is actually quite nice!

Its tastes a little like beef, but has the texture of chicken.

Yes, I've tried horse...

I've also had:

Squirrel
Phasent
Kangaroo
Deer
Rabbit
Hare
Pigeion

Few others, but can't think what right now...

I pose a more relevent question...where does the "white" go when the snow melts?

Snow is a whole bunch of individual ice crystals arranged together. When a light photon enters a layer of snow, it goes through an ice crystal on the top, which changes its direction slightly and sends it on to a new ice crystal, which does the same thing. Basically, all the crystals bounce the light all around so that it comes right back out of the snow pile. It does the same thing to all the different light frequencies, so all colours of light are bounced back out. The "colour" of all the frequencies in the visible spectrum combined in equal measure is white, so this is the colour we see in snow, while it's not the colour we see in the individual ice crystals that form snow.

does that mean in the dark when there is no light the snow will cease to be white, will it be clear if there is no light ?

shotgun?

[WiredbyWilson]

I think the technical term is a bolt gun

But if they are not to be turned into food of one sort or another they are euthenased (sp) via an injection.

I'm not being morbid, my wife owns a horse and isa vet nurse so i get to hear all sorts that they have to do at her surgery and I normally get told whilst we have dinner

I don't think so, they'd have trouble holding the tools wouldn't they?!
