Hindus have launched a last minute appeal to prevent the slaughter of a sacred bull which has tested positive for tuberculosis. The bull, Shambo, lives in a shrine in Llanpumsaint, Carmarthenshire (Wales). Officials at the Skanda Vale Temple and the Hindu Forum of Britain, say the killing of cows and bulls is against their religious principles. The Welsh assembly government said infected animals were slaughtered to "protect both human and animal health". As a responsible organisation, the temple has sought professional veterinary advice to ensure that robust measures are taken to isolate Shambo and minimise the spread of disease but an assembly government spokesperson said TB was a disease which was transmissible to humans and other mammals.
Stories like this make me wonder how evolved the human race actually is, and I'm not just talking about Hindus here. Millions and millions of us roam the planet believing what are essentially fairy tales put forward by the organized religions of the world, stories that by and large are there to replace the old myths that we used to believe in.
For every sacred bull there's a vision of the Virgin Mary in some incongruous place that then becomes a shrine with people willing themselves to see a miracle. This photo of Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich (google it!!) looks a helluva llot lik
e Marlene Dietrich but don't try telling that to the faithful who are bidding for the icon on Ebay like there's no tomorrow. Maybe this sandwich isn't a miracle but inexplicably just looking at the photo cured a little problem I'd been having with impotence (what can I say....I LOVE grilled cheese!!!) Stranger still is the famous Virgin Mary underpass salt runoff stain in Chicago that had people lining up just to get a glimpse and say a prayer at an image 
that bore a greater resemblance to a woman's privates than to the blessed mother of Jesus. Its been said that our brains are genetically programmed to recognize facial patterns and even assign these attributes where none exist ( i.e. the man in the moon). It seems like we've also been programmed not to see a huge vagina when it's staring us right in the face! (Or am I just imagining things???...hmmmm). I'm far from the 1st to cast aspersions on this phenomenon (check out this link for more photos like these of Mary and baby Jesus sharing a grilled c
heese sandwich. http://cas.bellarmine.edu/tietjen/RootWeb/VirginMaryCheese.htm

get about Shambo the sacred but tubercular bull......now there's an idea for a sitcom!!....SHAMBO THEME
He's shambo the sacred but tubercular bull
Poor shambo, the fates have been unjustly cruel
In the old days you'd pull a plow or two
Now all they want you to pull is through
Oh Shambo the sacred but tubercular bull.
Hey Shambo, whatever are you gonna do
The health cops have put out a hit on you
The Hindus revere you as most superior
But we take one look and think"leather interior"
Dear Shambo we'd be really worried too!
So Shambo let's hope that you can stick around
As beef goes,you're better off not sliced or ground
When they sent you in for a diagnosis
Who knew they'd find tuberculosis
Shambo please stay safe and sound.
Shambo you'd leave a lot of lonely cows
They see you and never fail to get aroused
They voted you "bull they wished to be datin' "
The one who should do the inseminatin'
Shambo please don't leave us now.
