"most questions are just like yours but you'd be surprised at how many horse people don't know what the difference is between donkeys and mules. And the whole issue of sterility in mules confuses the heck out of folks, too. They may be sterile but they are not gender-less."


Wow, really? I always thought that both of those were kind of common knowledge. So do people think that mules are like anatomically ambiguous Barbie dolls or something?
