About the Rat
Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more

To me that definition should be `Great noise or excitement, especially involving sheep or cows.'
(In my experience, if you bring a loaf of bread near some sheep, you're likely to get a hell of a woolloomooloo. I don't understand why it is that sheep find bread so irresistible...)
