The Funniest Pic You'll See All Day

Here's the funniest pic you'll see all day:

Experts said the slow digestive system of cows makes them a key producer of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that gets far less public attention than carbon dioxide.

In a bid to understand the impact of the wind produced by cows on global warming, scientists collected gas from their stomachs in plastic tanks attached to their backs.

The Argentine researchers discovered methane from cows accounts for more than 30 per cent of the country's total greenhouse emissions.

Now if they could convert that into a fuel source, we'd be getting somewhere!

:hehe:

I'm trying to follow that tube that comes out of the front of the tank. I can only imagine where it disappears to on the other end of the cow.

 

[Krossat]

umm so you mean all we need is a lot of farting cows to fix the environment?
how about cows on a beans diet? :\

 

[dgridley]

No, apparently, farting cows could be harmful to the environment.. I wonder if that's what killed off the dinosaurs.

Hey, Bob.. did you just fart? = exSTINKtion

[Krossat]

ohh so they are the cows with killer farts
No more beans for them then

You've read the article, now see the movie:

Looks like a rocket, but we all know where the launch is coming from.

 

[Krossat]

lmfao!
wonder where they empty the tube after all the testing, sure wouldn't wanna go there !

That thing looks well inflated..

At first I thought the girl cows wont like him anymore now that he has a billboard sized fart bag on his back, but the more i think about it hes probally the only male cow that doesnt stink. Hello Ladies!

 

[dgridley]

Let's hope no one lights a match near that poor cow.. Oh the humanity!

 

[johname]

if it only takes a few days to get that full then i am starting to understand the greenhouse emissions concern

I need a tank like that. I'm sure I contribute a ton of greenhouse gasses.

 

[dgridley]

I hear human trials of this device start next month in Washington. Sadly, all available slots have been preassigned to politicians. The goal is to see who provides the most BS: democrats or republicans. :p

Well if that does happen I'd like my steak medium-well with a glass of warm milk.

 

[Compassion]

Renewable energy at its finest, Hope the researchers figure out how to harness the power!

 

[johname]

One day we will have use our cow baged fuel to drive a gokart size car to the store to buy a gallon of milk. lol

So, if I am understanding the physics of this properly, we can lower the green house effect by 30% if we force cows to eat beano pills?

 

[dgridley]

Or genetically engineer their feed to produce less methane when digested.

Maybe we could feed them meat, some puppies or something, that might produce less methane. Well, no not puppies, some less lovable animals, something ugly that we have too many of, like cats.
