    A most titillating question ... wouldn't you say? A query that
    surely keeps most men, women, and children up at night pondering the
    impossible. Perhaps--one might say--perhaps it was invented by some
    underweight blokes who saw no other way to make a living than by
    riding upon a steed's back and racing to the finish line in order to
    be awarded some great prize ... all the while accepting honors that
    do not belong to him but rather to his poor beast who would rather
    be chewing on some green grass in the sunlight while befriending that
    cute mare over there swishing her tail at him. 

    On the other hand ... some fertile mind might take a serious leap
    into a world that totally lacks judgment ... and come to a
    conclusion based on absolutely nothing that horse racing was invented
    by Neptune and/or Poseidon. That person with that mind that clearly
    adheres to no sequence of logic ... that person would win the gold
    star. For it was them indeed wot invented horse racing. Don't ask me
    how. Don't ask me why. 

    As to how the horse was created ... there seem to be some strong
    opinion that it was first hatched from an egg. For those skeptics
    amongst you who tend to doubt this ... I am here to tell you that
    I-- personally-- believe every word of it. Why not? If a chicken can
    come from an egg ... why can't a horse? 

    Did I mention I have an 18 karat gold and enamel and colored stone
    horse bangle bracelet with diamonds to show you? 

    Did you know that braiding a horse's tail with ribbons will keep
    away all evil spirits. Of course ... I imagine this process might
    involve sitting on a stool facing a horse's business-end whilst
    involving oneself in the braiding process. Should the horse ... at
    this moment ... feel nature's call toodling to her as she raises her
    tail in salute... the braider might well be advised to head for the
    hills post-haste lest a moment's pause brings a deluge of misfortune
    pouring upon his or her head. Braiding horses' tails is clearly
    never going to be my thang. Let Poseidon do it, I say. He got us into
    this craziness. 

    There is much more one can discuss about horse-lore ... but why
    bother about that when I can direct you to this gorgeous bangle of a
    horse=92s head with a diamond ring in his mouth. Interested? 

    For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
    direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will
    scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says
    Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Horse ...
    in order to view an equine without equal.
