If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

The song Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer is all wrong. Rudolf, who had antlers was a female because only females keep their antlers, males shed them before Winter. Also reindeer are colour-blind so couldn't possibly be 'guided by his nose tonight' So we know it was female and colour-blind and that could make it a transgenDEER!
Yeah, I'll get me coat!
