One wonders what the indomitable nonpareils of Norfolk would think of this one:
Palestinian boys ride dyed donkeys at Marah Land zoo in Gaza City October 8, 2009. Two white donkeys dyed with black stripes delighted Palestinian kids at a small Gaza zoo on Friday who had never seen a zebra in the flesh. A genuine zebra would have been too expensive to bring into Israel-blockaded Gaza via the smuggling tunnels under the border with Egypt, said zoo owner Mohammed Bargouthi.

Is a dyed donkey deserving of divergent discourse? Or is a painted pony as pleased as a pickle at his precious new apparel?
(On a completely unrelated note, it would seem that somebody has finally had enough coffee to activate his trusty thesaurus.)

In the video of this "zoo" posted above, you see the "kiddies" whacking the damn beasties... someone must have told them that the things were actually Hebras, not Zebras...
TESTING!
