Jackalope honored in Wyoming


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.
