Turkish villagers curse their 'stupid sheep'

July 08 2005 at 11:36AM

Ankara - A village in eastern Turkey is cursing its luck after losing 400 sheep, which were killed after falling into a ravine, the Radikal newspaper reported on Friday.

Shepherds from Ikizler were having their breakfast on Thursday, leaving the flock of 1 500 sheep alone.

One of the sheep tried to jump across a 15-metre-deep ravine.

The rest of the flock followed, with the first 400 being killed. The rest had a "soft landing", the Radikal article stated.

The incident represents a huge monatary loss of around 100 000 Turkish lira for the village. - Sapa-dpa

I heard a similiar kinda story. I'm not sure if it is a myth but I heard that if you cover a crocidile's eyes with your hands it will think it's dead and die.

But yeah, those sheep were pretty stupid.

I dunno...that sounds a little bit like the time a friend of mine grounded himself to a PC power supply...because someone told him that would be the safest way for him and his box...heh. His gullability decreased a few points that day...
