Whats with the sheep...

Mint Sauce · 2014-12-10 13:30:02

...on the log in screen? Updated the software on my tablet the other day, so had to re enter my name and PW on the home screen, and was greeted by a field of sheep, thought it was just something on mobile devices. Untill I seen the same field and sheep when re logging in on my laptop. What gives boards?

Apparently Dav has a, shall we say, idiosyncratic view of the concept of animal husbandry.

Welcome to the annual silly season.
Mods on the rampage. No thread title is safe. No post is safe. Nothing is sacred.
Sheep on the login page.

Puts on tin foil hat and waits.

Sheep are tasty.

Especially with chips and salad.
