A
monorail
once
built
in
North
Wales
required
passengers
or
cargo
to be
equally
balanced
side
-to-
side
to
keep
the
train
on the
rail
. Once a
piano
that
required
moving
was
counterbalanced
by a
cow
; the
cow
was then
safely
returned
by
counterbalancing
it with
two
goats
. It is
assumed
that the
goats
balanced
each other to
get
themselves
home
, but
whether
they had a
return
ticket
is not
recorded
.
