Ok. They already got that. damn. I thought is was such a good idea. OK, let's try this. Have you ever noticed that pushing your ox cart with those square wheels was a lot of effort? I have a great idea! Instead of pushing the cart with the ox, let's try pulling it. I know what you are going to say, oxes will not pull carts - but have you ever tried it? And as an added trick, try trimming the corners off your wheels. Keep trimming the corners until they are round. It is probable that the wheels will roll instead of sliding and the ox can use a lot less effort, so pulling will not be a big deal. Of course the wheels could roll out form under the cart but I will bet you could rig something up to hold them in place that won't wear out.

And while we are on the subject of innovation, our goat got killed by lightning last week and burnt to a crisp. I noted that the flesh tasted just dandy and fewer people than usual died after eating it. Now if we could just keep the lightning-burning going all the time we could eat burnt goat whenever we wanted and it would be a great advantage! What do say to this, fire-man?
