Wildebeest
March 2nd, 2013, by It has been a rather busy week with traveling, so I only have time to [rather tardily] share a random thought for now …
A while ago, I made a reference to the wildebeest. More recently, I heard about an African story.

Looking at a picture, it is almost enough to make me believe in Intelligent Design …
