That explains a persistent mystery from my childhood: why was the cheat code "Big Bertha" the one that made the catapults all throw cows instead of rocks in Age of Empires.
Now I know.
For those curious how old, this picture seems likely to be from her 47th birthday. They were born on St. Patrick's day in 1945, and there's mention in the Wikipedia article of leading the St. Patrick day parade to aid with funding.
I can’t believe Guinness World Records dropped that category in 2006. Low-key makes me sad.
Damn cow is more useful than I am.
Having a jesus there would be too much for them to handle
You bring us history :)
I do my best! 🙏
