Can a horse ever be called for a hand ball foul in soccer?

By the current crop of World Cup refs, Yes.  Regardless of the ultimate answer to this thread.  A horse has a face and we have already seen a handball called for playing the ball with the face.

Could a horse be called for holding in the Super Bowl?

Can a horse actually hold a ball in the first place?

Ok breaking news.

I just saw an episode of QI where they said the back two joins on the dangly walking limbs are knees, and the front joints are elbows.

So how much is an elephant like a horse?

If I remember that episode correctly, they also said that elephants are unique in that they are the only animal which *something* (I think it was having four knees), so apparently an elephant isn't that much like a horse.

See http://www.qi.com/television/series-j/joints/knees for more on elephants 'knees'.

So "the bee's knees" implies that bees are like elephants?   (Using Monty Pythonesque logic, i.e. "What floats? Ducks float, so if she weighs the same as a duck she must be a witch"

"Horses walk around on the equivalent of their middle fingers."

So I guess that means I gave the obvious answer and thus deserve the claxons...

I'd say an arm is a limb protruding from a central body with the function to hold and/or manipulate object, whereas legs is limbs protruding to the ground with the function of supporting an object.

Primates are obvious since we have hands, able of holding and manipulating objects

Octopus has arms, the tentacles are adapt at holding and manipulating objects

Industrial robots have arms that manipulates objects

Industrial cabinets have arms that e.g. holds a monitor

Elephants, horses and chairs have legs that support the weight.

The real question is: Do horses exist? And if they do, which kind of fruit are they?
