Equus asinus

Walaoeh, Anwar? One title like that also can ar?

Anyway, i am gonna kick-start the langzhai blog with some interesting bits of a Donkey.

Fyi, donkey or jackass are actually the same thing.

With courtesy of Wikipedia,a donkey could be either several of these -

-Refering to someone as a jackass in modern slang provides a connotation of being obnoxious, rude, and thoughtless, with or without the added connotation of stupidity. This usage is also considered vulgar. A less vulgar substitute is donkey itself.
-The unmodified word ass has entered common use in the English language as a term used to describe a person who resembles a donkey in some way, such as appearance, stubbornness, foolishness, etc.
-Donkeys also have a reputation for stubbornness, but this is due to some handlers' misinterpretation of their highly developed sense of self preservation. It is difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it sees as contrary to its OWN BEST INTEREST.

Of course, a donkey is also an animal we all commonly known.
Scientifically - Equus asinus. (What an arse!)

Feedbacks are most welcomed.=)
