Sheep in the news

Story going around the net about a Russian spy ship that sank after a  
collision with a barge. A barge full of sheep.

This article quotes a former Black Sea Fleet commander being surprised	
that the ship actually sank rather than just being damaged. I suggest
that  
the real surprise should be that there were any survivors :-)
