- Not all Shetland ponies are named Steven. That is a misconception. All three legged Shetland ponies are named Steven, hence the expression “running in circles like Shetland Steven”. Three legged Shetlands are all named in honor of the first Shetland pony with three legs (“Steven”).
- Normal Shetland ponies answer to many different names, but calling one “Buttercup” in considered racist.
- Five legged Shetland ponies are rare, unless you leave them on the grill a nice long time.
- Antonin Scalia famously and glibly used the phrase “Shetland Porny” to refer to the class of materials banned by the landmark 1993 SCOTUS decision in City of Hoboken v. Dazzler Films Petting Zoo and Movie Studio (8-1, Thomas dissenting).
- The theory that four precisely aimed Shetland ponies smashed together at sufficient speed will fuse into a Clydesdale has never been disproved, as early experiments with conventional rocketry were maddeningly inconclusive. While the technology currently exists to imbue a pony with a large electric charge, at present there is not the political will for the construction of a multi-billion dollar super conducting pony collider.
- Shetland ponies do not crave human flesh. You’re thinking of Monarch butterflies.
