Classic from my dad - sheep have legs shorter on the left hand side of their body than their right so that they can walk round on hills...

He really believed it too!

Actually - the sheep thing is almost right. There is a breed of sheep with shorter front legs than back (or maybe Vicky Verky) - bred especially in hilly climes. Something to do with them being able to eat grass more easily :)
