Stumbleupon Review of : http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/monterrosooveja.html

In a distant land many years ago there lived a black sheep.
It was executed by a firing squad.
A century later the regretful herd erected to the slain sheep an equestrian statue that looked very nice in the park.
In the years that followed, each time that a black sheep appeared it was rapidly executed so that future generations of common and ordinary sheep could practice their sculpture.
