rsterling78 Prowler Junkie Posts: 286 From: Huntsville, Alabama, USA Registered: MAR 2004	posted 04-25-2005 10:21 PM According to the Mr. Ed entry on the Snopes.com website , TV's talking horse was actually a zebra! Supposedly the black-and-white televisions of the 1960s could not resolve alternating black and white stripes, with the result that the zebra appeared pale gray to white on the TV. The Internet Movie Database disagrees: quote: One rumor (based on an episode in which the horse leaned on freshly painted railings and pretended it was a zebra) is that Mr. Ed was not a horse at all but a female zebra specially trained to move her lips on command. This is an urban myth. According to the IMDb, Mr. Ed was a horse named Bamboo Harvester, not a zebra. I personally don't buy the zebra theory. What do you think?
