depends how you look at it. the pigs ARE cows if we have redifined what a the word cow means. if not though, than that is the correct answer. doesn't really matter. i'm bored and i need something to do so i wrote this.
If we call the pigs cows then he will have 20 things we call cows. What are cows other than things we call cows?Er eh?
well i either went with "just calling them cows doesn't make it so" OR "well you'd have ten 'cows' - not entirely sure what the original cows are now called though"
