Just when you thought your dog is just, like, the smartest little thing ever because she’s learning not to pee on the carpet…
(Hat tip to rm preston. In a comment at the Seven Impossible Things… blog’s weekly “7-Kicks” extravaganza yesterday, rm listed this as one of the highlights of her previous seven days. It would’ve been one of mine, too!)

I haven’t laughed at anything so stupid since, I don’t know when. Sheep making a picture of the Mona Lisa! I can’t believe it!

My grandfather moved to Florida and would send us letters. He used to cut out pictures of sheep and write names on them, tell us that they were his flock, that he had become a shepard. The stories were outrageous and funny, and I pull them out occassionally to remind myself of how incredible he was.

cynth: Amazing, wot? Although to be accurate, I think the sheep themselves didn’t make the picture; it looked to me like the Baaaa-Studs took a digital photo and then just successively cropped and rotated pieces of the whole image, assembling and overlaying all the pieces until they got the desired result. Still, can you say OCD? :)
Eileen: I just about fell over when I saw it the first time. I love that it seems to be a video about sheep, LEDs, and such — but it’s really (IMO) a video about the relationships between these guys and their dogs. Like, all the shepherds are calling out and whistling at more or less the same time, and their dogs manage to sort it all out. Just… as you say, just amazing.
kelly: What a great story. If they’re in suitable form, they’d be great to scan and blog (or otherwise write!) about, you do know this, right?

Wow. That just knocked my mind of kilter for a few minutes. (As evidenced by the fact that after I watched it I kept looking everywhere for a pencap that was actually still on my pen. Damn sheep.)
However they did it, it was still cool.
