so surprising about other creatures being able to count? How are
spiders able to spin such wonderful webs for example and at what
college did they learn the art? In the good old days when milk
roundsmen used a horse and cart it was fairly common for the
horse to know the round. Another fairly common thing in the old
days was for people to go to a public house with a horse and
cart. When the man was drunk he was put onto the cart and the
horse would take him home. Presumably this is where the phrase
"On the wagon" comes from. (once he was on the wagon his
drinking was over) You have 550 characters left. Security code
