Yaks milk is pink

Apparently not Degsy. . . but Hippo milk is.

"Hippos are the only mammals that produce pink milk; there were many who believed that Yak’s milk is also pink but the fact is that when a Yak gives birth to a calf, the first milk produced contains blood that gives it a pink color and is known by the name of “Beastings”. After some time the milk turns back to the usual white color."

If it isn't a coincidence, then the Ancient Egyptians invented the Metre

So, however early in the process and for what ever reason, it is, to quote your own expert witness, for "some time" - Yaks milk , for the purposes of describing its colouration - Is your actual pink.

My statement - which, may it please the court M'lud, did not contain any modifiers of a time limits or claims of a permanent nature, thus is in and of its self
Correct.

The court finds in your favour Sir. lol
NB
Having admitted his guilt, the defendant requests that no charges be laid against him. He both acknowledges and apologises for his pedantic nature.

Ahh yes, this is a little known quirk of history.

Legend has it that King Ramases would often shout out expletives whilst in the shower when Queen Nefertari would run the hot tap to clean the clay potteries after dinnner. And the great plague of darkness from the book of Exodus has recently been attributed to Ramases forgetting to pay the energy bill, resulting in kingdom being cut off according to prominent ancient history scholars.

Hippo sweat is reddish / pink - the ancients thought they sweated blood.

The red hippo sweat compound is being looked at for sunscreen (seriously). The hippo can stand in blazing sun all day and not get burned because of it.

I thought a return to this name would have been one of the many glorious victories of Brexit.

Magellan is typically credited with being the first man to circumnavigate the globe. In fact he was killed in the Phillipines during the voyage and only got around half way. The rest of the voyage was led by a guy called Juan Sebastian Encano, who actually did circumnavigate the globe.
