# Most impressive sheep
For me has to be the Blue Faced Leicester because its head is sort of peanut shaped. Does anyone else know of an animal that is shaped like a nut, I wonder?

# Word
The head of Blue Faced Leicester is nuciform.

Nuciform is a good word I reckon.

# Splendid
I want to apply it to stuff, can other things be nuciform like biscuits or cars or MPs etc etc?

# No

# dude,
much respect for your sheep of choice.
Even more for the fact you really DID make a prawn out of straws. You are an artiste of much standing I am sure.

# Dramatic
In my very first job we had a poster of sheep breeds on the office wall. The Blue Faced Leicesters were pictured on top of a small knoll looking herorically in the middle distance their nuciform heads held aloft, whilst a shepheard waved his arm in a seemingly futile act of sheep herding. Oh yes dramatic sheep images indeed.

The prawn was inevitable.

# Woo
Here's a piccy of a man balancing nuts on his head. Just needs a rabbit to make it perfect.

# Mister Crab?
Can nuts be nuciform, or is that just tautological?

# Nuciform
means in the shape of a nut, so i suppose all nuts are inherently nuciform, although of course there are various shapes of nut, so I suppose that covers quite a lot of things

# Strictly he should get a bag
That's an accident waiting to happen, how many times does he have to be told.
