as it’s Dewi Sant (Saint David’s Day to those poor unfortunates who don’t speak God’s Own Tongue) here are a bunch of interesting sheep-related facts<\/em><\/p>\n

1. The furthest distance a sheep has flown unaided is 639 miles.<\/p>\n

2. Elviz Presley was from Pontypridd (pron: Pont-ee-preeeth).<\/p>\n

3. The fibrous exterior of a sheep is called bearding.<\/p>\n

4. Sheep are called ruminants because they take a long time to think things over.<\/p>\n

5. Sheep sleep in nests they make in trees.<\/p>\n

6. When faced with a ‘water emergency’ a sheep will inflate its swim bladder and float to safety.<\/p>\n

7. Sheep poo is the raw ingredient of a type of paper.<\/p>\n

All of these facts and more(*) are available at this worthy Welsh website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(*) Well… when I say more we need to add a note of slight caution here – especially as six out of seven of these facts are actually… not facts at all. Fabricated. Completely made up. Oh yes. Except for number 4.<\/p>\n

Happy St David’s Day!<\/p>\n
