fuzzy wuzzy wasn't a bear, fuzzy wuzzy was a sheep

some say that sheep aren't the smartest animal on the farm. some say that the only thing they're good for are fuzzy rugs, soft handbags and being a tasty beef alternative. some might even say that if one sheep hopped over a fence, another one would follow, and another, and so on, for no good reason except that's what the other guy just did. yes, they wander aimlessly, their existence so base and simplistic in nature, and like buffalo, they would probably jump off a cliff expecting to land safely on the other side of aforementioned fence, not recognizing imminent death.

but all that said, they are still one of my favorites, second only to the elephant (a story for another day). and no one can deny that hands down sheep make the cutest stuffed animals!

in celebration of these fuzzy little creatures, let's review some of history's most notable sheep:
