I found this on Mental Floss by way of EW.com and had to share. It's about butter, people!!! Robert's favorite food. Had to be done.
Big news around these parts: The Iowa State Fair kicked off yesterday. And you know what that means – Butter Cow. Well, butter lots of things, actually... Although the original artist, Duffy Lyon, started out just sculpting various bovines of butter, over the years she decided to start incorporating current events along with Bessie. Michael Jackson was supposed to be the honoree this year (I’ll leave the jokes to you), but Iowans vetoed that idea and the anniversary of the moon landing is depicted in the artery-clogging substance instead. Just in case you don’t make it to the state fair every year, here are 10 buttery creations.
