Howdy!

I just figured out a great way to explain:
"Seizure Disorder" v. "Epilepsy"
to people!

Think of "Seizure Disorder" as a ZEBRA!

The doctors attempt to figure out whether you have:

A WHITE zebra with BLACK stripes (epilepsy)
or
A BLACK zebra with WHITE stripes (seizures due to some other physiological
cause.)

If they can't figure it out they will eventually just call it a Zebra and
leave it at that.

I have a zebra hen - a barred Wyandotte bantam. She's a zebra hen so her
name is Zen. But there's something indefinable about her too, could be
whether her feathers are white with black stripes or black with white
stripes.

I like your solution to our problem!

I haven't observed any incidents. You're welcome to come and examine her ...

No. It should be labelled as a horse, but should be excluded from other
horses because it is a defective freak and a mutant.
