Something that gets my goat - goats don't graze, they browse. Great article though!

        It’s a close second behind Firefox ;)

    With the latter containing the wonderful line 'If the population of browsers grows too high, all of the browse that they can reach may be devoured.'

  Based on the definitions I've been able to find, it would seem browsers are animals that mostly eat by browsing, and grazers are animals that mostly eat by grazing, but a browser can graze and a grazer can browse. The goats in these problems are confined to fields of grass and that is all they can eat, so it seems they are in fact grazing goats (and probably unhappy goats since they would much rather be browsing).
