Ewes-ful: Paris hires sheep to mow city lawns

Motorless and independent, the four-legged workers contentedly munch day and night - oblivious of the France's strict 35-hour work week.

Bear in mind, though, the cut you get from sheep or goats won't be exactly comparable to "tournament conditions" on a PGA golf course. Which is why it would never fly over here.

For US public greenspace, like the DHS HQ parking lot berms, it's this or nothing.
