Who likes cows? I DOOOOO! This thread is designed in honor of our bovine brothers and sisters who have perhaps done more to the contribution of mankind, than mankind (at least in terms of hydrocarbon emissions we humans haven't reached bovine efficiency and besides the whole global warming thing is junk science used to persecute these poor creatures). In honor of them this thread is dedicated to bovine freedom. Most humans are ignorant of the toils and troubles the poor cows grow up with and the destiny that awaits them. In honor of bovine freedom there was a famous song written about Cows With Guns. Here the flash animation is dedicated to bovine freedom. Here is a pop quiz. What is a cows most famous word?
Before you read the some cow facts below, you might want to use these nice sound effects to aid you in getting more in touch with your bovine side, as well as providing an answer to the pop quiz!
Hi

Here are some cow facts:
Although a cow has no upper front teeth, it grazes up to 8 hours a day, taking in about 100 lb of feed and the equivalent of a bath tub full of water. A healthy cow gives about 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.
A cow has four stomachs: the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The rumen is the largest stomach and acts as a fermentation chamber. The abomasum is last of the four and is comparable in both structure and function to the human stomach.
With all its grazing and many stomachs, it is no wonder that cows are one of the main contributors to the hole in the ozone layer. Apart from CFC, the biggest culprit is hydrocarbon emissions from cars and cows. Yes, cows! Cows release some 100 million tons of hydrocarbon annually - by releasing gas. To give you an idea of how much gas a cow emits: if the gas of 10 cows could be captured, it would provide heating for a small house for a year.
But unlike what you think, cows release hydrocarbon mostly by burping.
And at last we leave you with a picture of our bovine friends behind bars waiting to become whoppers.
