I got this one today, I thought I'd post the sad looking cow. I wonder though what they mean with this sad looking cow?
scenario 1: I wonder if they realize that the cow in this case represents the user or maybe his or hers computer? (Since those are the ones who are sad). So we are a sad looking cow! So do they mean this?:
scenario 2: Or is the cow actually the processing system that we randomly encounter while trying to communicate with the Zynga servers, like this:
scenario 3: Or… is the sad cow actually the new terminology, or lets say the evolved bug in the Internet Era? So while Thomas Edison wrote in 1878:
It has been just so in all of my inventions. The first step is an intuition, and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise — this thing gives out and [it is] then that 'Bugs' — as such little faults and difficulties are called — show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached.
We now use the term "sad looking cow" in the Internet Era?
"I have a sad looking cow in my Prolog Code" or "Linux contains less sad looking cows than Windows" or "There are 20 sad looking cows per 100 lines of code?"
So that the sad looking cow is actually inside the "server" ?
scenario 4: Or does this mean that FarmVille is actually in the head of the Cow (the Matrix) and we operate the cow via a remote terminal?

I found this blog through searching "farmville code 2". Then I found this post. Then I lol'd. Then I was a sad cow, I think, but I'm not exactly sure what the conclusion of your research into the sad cow is.
[...] WHY is this Cow Unhappy? What does this message mean? why a Cow? What is it actually standing on? [...]
