I just learned of the condition, boanthropy:
Boanthropy is a psychological disorder in which the sufferer believes he or she is a cow or ox. The most famous sufferer of this condition was King Nebuchadnezzar, who in the Book of Daniel “was driven from men and did eat grass as oxen."
I am surprised, though I myself have been craving wide open, green pastures lately, and I am both a Taurus and an Ox (in the Chinese system).
All of which leads me to revise one of my favorite jokes, from canine to bovine:
A guy goes in to see a psychiatrist and says:
Doc, I feel like I'm a cow.
The doctor asks: How long have you felt this way?
The patient replies: Since I was a calf.
May all beings be well and happy (cows, dogs and people too!)
