Woa Nelly. Or should I say Woa Bessie.

I laughed so hard I nearly pissed myself.

Technology is great when it works,
and one big pain in the ass when it doesn't.
Detroit iron rules all the rest are just toys.

I think all cattle farmers should have to equip all their cattle with those devices, and then they would have to empty them daily into a collection tank. They should have to have the collection tank content either processed on the farm, or collected by trucks and taken to a central processing tank.

Yes, that would introduce SOME cost to the production of beef, but doggone it, our planet is worth it.

We PROBABLY should insist on humans being equipped with the same kind of devices, although personally, I might just decide to splurge out of my wealth and buy out of that by buying carbon credits. But YOU guys should still have to wear it.

What's ignition temperature for methane? Would love to see a full tank go off on the back of a cow.

if scientists could make all the hot air produced by politicians go away, we'd have global cooling.

about 630 C or 1166 F

With the current highly accurate global warming models, will we hit that temp in 2011 or 2012?

If I can't run a car on it I don't give a sh.., If I can then I'll tow ol bessy on a trailer!

When I saw the topic I thought it was going to be something like this

...and one flare gun later, the sport of cow-tipping quicklly evolved in to a strange mix of target shooting and sub-orbital ground beef collection.

Why not just install an igniter on the back side of the cow?

And an afterburner! Supersonic Fart Cow!

heh, actually the smart dairy farmers already do something like this,

A neighboring dairy farmer puts a bunch of fresh maure in a greenhouse, collects the methane, and runs a caterpillar with it to produce electricity,

he runs his entire farm and still gets a $50 check from the electric company.

and hes no backyard operation, he has at least 300 - 500 head

Would be a funny conversation at the bank for that loan!

Maybe he was subsidized by scientific research?

Research.....now is that an undercover word for ways to use taxpayer money!?!

blackrams needs one of those plastic bags.

What's up[ with all the animal flatulence posts? Cats, cows. Canarys next?

humph, I must have missed the other two. Hey if we have learned anything from this....uh.. it is that farts are important.
