The innkeeper isn't the bad guy in the story, he's a *good guy* in the story. He *doesn't have room in his inn* and then *finds a spot for Mary anyway*. And this act of kindness is why Jesus is born in a manger -- warm, dry, safe, surrounded by people that love him -- instead of out in the desert

As a dog example, sometimes a doggy DNA test will come back with "village dog." Much more common outside the US.

Village dog means your dog has NO breed in it. They are descended from generations of dogs of no breed mixing.

97-99% of cats can be thought of as "village cats"

So, what breed IS your cat?

None.
(None breed, left beef.)

Wha? How?
Cat breeds are just NEW. Despite them living with us for thousands of years, we only have about 40-150 years of cat breeds existing, and they aren't out mixing with random cats.

97-99% of cats are breedless!

"So, intelligent. Why?"

"You asked us to invent measures to take down small drones."
