But, that's more plausible, after centuries of indoctrination. Brown cows lactating chocolate milk defies logic.

Could be worse.

They might think that it comes from brown bulls.

So where does chocolate milk come from? Inquiring minds want to know...

[Rune Blackwings]

I can never remember if it's Ambergris or Verdigris until I think about it for a moment..

ambergris

verdigris is a patina on metal.

[Rune Blackwings]

Since they say something like 50% of people believe in Angels.

technically, some of it does come from brown cows. certain breeds of milk cows are brown. you add chocolate to the milk. so, in this sense, chocolate milk could come from brown cows.

On a related note, Yoko Ono earned her business chops back in the 80s in the animal trade of some sort. She was noteworthy for selling a Hereford Cattle for a record price at the time. (The breed evidently provides tens of thousands of gallons of milk.)

So, you could also add chocolate and say chocolate milk comes from Yoko Ono.

Our modern word humor comes from the same Latin root as humidity, which is to say a word for moisture.

Both ancient and medieval thinkers believed that four fluids, or humors, coursed through the body. One's health, and consequently one's mood, depended on the humors being in balance. Being in a good mood or bad mood was described as being in good humor or bad humor. Something humorous was something that played upon one's mood, or was derived from one's mood. Eventually it only came to be associated with a good mood and laughter. So, humor today is something that makes one laugh.

A couple footnotes...

The four humors are blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. You can think of these as blood, snot, vomit, and poop. This is why bleeding was such a popular therapy in the Middle Ages, because the other humors could be expelled with the use of purgatives, laxatives, and expectorants.

We still occasionally use the language of humors to describe mood or personality. Choleric, for angry or irritable, comes from an abundance of choler, or yellow bile. Melancholic, for sadness or depression, comes from and abundance of black bile. Sanguine, for optimistic or easy-going, comes from an abundance of blood. Phlegmatic, or being cold or emotionally detached, comes from an abundance of phlegm.

Well, if brown chickens produce brown eggs, why wouldn't brown cows produce brown milk?

I believe John Travolta is an Angel.

[Rarebird]

Do brown eggs come from brown chickens?

Yes. Brown chickens lay brown eggs. I regulary care for a couple and they lay brown eggs.

Careful. They'll make you an honorary Merkin, Renate.

[ronmac]

Well, if brown chickens produce brown eggs, why wouldn't brown cows produce brown milk?

Last time I checked, milk and egg production are different processes.

Yes. Brown chickens lay brown eggs. I regulary care for a couple and they lay brown eggs.

But, do they have chocolate in them?

I know, but one might think, if a brown chicken produces brown eggs, why not brown milk from a brown cow.

But, do they have chocolate in them?

No they don't. Though I love chocolate, I'm glad brown eggs don't have chocolate in them. It would ruin the fried eggs for my breakfast, because you mostly see brown eggs.

[Scott Bails]

But, do they have chocolate in them?

Hmm....

[Rarebird]

Hmm....

Looks delicious, though the rabbit looks a bit to fat. Not really healthy.

Do brown people produce brown milk?

[Rarebird]

Do brown people produce brown milk?

No, just like brown cows don't. But does one know for sure what color milk brown people produce, if one has never seen it?

[ronmac]

Have you ever heard of humans breast-feeding?

[Dave (in MA)]

Do brown eggs come from brown chickens?

"Brown eggs are local eggs,
and local eggs are fresh"

Which will probably mean nothing to anyone who didn't grow up in New England.

[Gruno]

Have you ever heard of humans breast-feeding?

Have you ever seen breast milk from humans? It's not white.
