(Reuters) - Methane gas from 90 flatulent cows exploded in a German farm shed on Monday, damaging the roof and injuring one of the animals, police said.

High levels of the gas had built up in the structure in the central German town of Rasdorf, then "a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames," the force said in a statement.

One cow was treated for burns, a police spokesman added.

Climate change...

Having read a health food cook book written by a DUmmie that the name currently escapes me back in the late 70s, I thought this headline should bring out the climate change nutters.  The recipe book railed about the horror of Americans eating beef due to the cow's flatus damaging the Earth's atmosphere.  Funny stuff at the time.

6. Were those cows packed in like chickens to the factory?

Whatever the details of those living conditions, that produced such an effect, I doubt it could be called humane.

That's my first impression - and I fail to see the humor.

Cows aren't bred for their intelligence or personality, primitive.   :yum:

It's Winter in Germany, you know.  Have you ever seen how cows behave generally, and especially in cold weather?

Of course not. These are the smartest most gifted people in the world. They have ZERO experience in any field other than mooching and leeching but they just know evrything about everything. Just ask them.

I was going to mention that I grew up hearing about how my immigrant Norwegian ancestors supposedly lived above the barn and it was heated by the downstairs methane.

However in googling the reality of that, I only found a hilarious picture of an outhouse that I wanted to share.   :-)

I'm not so sure I'd care to use the ground floor hole if anybody were up top, no matter how that thing is aligned inside.

Bowler added a new kitchen, buttery, and a five-hole, two-story outhouse that is connected to the house via a skyway.

Fanciest outhouse I've ever heard of.

Only if it has heat.  Otherwise, no deal.

Probably not the most expensive one, though.

Open for Business: Gov't to Erect $98,670 Outhouse
(CNSNews.com) - The Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently paid $98,670 for the purchase and installation of an outhouse at the Swede Park Trail Head in Alaska.

The purchase includes a single-vault Romtec 1011 "Aspen Single" prefabricated waterless toilet and its installation at the parking area for the trail head.

KJ Mushovic of the BLM tells CNSNews.com, “Almost half of it (contract expense) is for the cost of the toilet.”

Cows fart because they are vegans and that makes methane gases....ergo, save the planet, go green, eat meat and kill the vegans.
