I don't know if you guys ever click on the Benjiblog section titled "Always Interesting" down and to the right of here, but this morning's edition of 60-second science was pretty awesome. German researchers found out that cattle and deer have built-in compasses and have a tendency to face magnetic north or south when grazing or resting. The current hypothesis is that this keeps them oriented so they have their bearings in case predators attack and they have to make a sudden "moooooooooove". (That joke was shamelessly stolen directly from the podcast).
Crazy German researchers..... what will they discover next?

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction
Wonder why you havent before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you havent before
If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
