Because
state legislators don’t have really important things to do, they have to
declare an official state mythical creature.
Jackalopes,
mythical creatures of the American West, are reportedly so friendly they even
let humans ride them.
Dave
Edwards was a Wyoming statesman with a larger-than-life personality, sense of
humor and reputation.
Now
a bill honors both.
The
bill would declare the jackalope the official mythical creature of Wyoming. If
passed, the law would be called the David Richard Edwards Memorial Act.
It
seems that state lawmaking bodies just LOVE to do these ceremonial honors by
awarding recognition to trivial things. I don’t see the point. In fact, I’m
pretty sure there ISN’T one.
But
the Jackalope is an awesome critter which may have a backing in reality and we
have learned something from it.
