More about rainbows.

In the mountains of Costa Rica, I found myself in the odd position of looking down at a rainbow.

It ended, very clearly, on a cow.

Well, so much for *that* mystery...

There are none so blind as those who will not see...

Everyone knows that appearances can be deceiving!

That is, pots of gold may not always look the way you might expect them to look. This could be true even in a rational, nonmagical world. Perhaps the cow was standing on a gold mine or oil well. Perhaps the cow had some physical characteristics that would have made her a movie or advertising star. Perhaps the cow was pregnant with - or capable of breeding - a prize bull (whose semen could sell for three to ten times the price of gold).

As my (NYer) mother always said, "there's still gold in them thar hills."

More than one have fallen under the rainbow.

Now, for your misinterpretation, you will taste the rainbow!

Now you know why the worship cows in India. They keep hoping one will fork over a rainbow.

Quick, someone phone Skittles! Now we know what rainbows really taste like!

Maybe it's the cow that laid the golden flop?

In Costa Rica, a cow may actually be the equivalent of a pot of gold.
