^I guess we should leave it to the Mythbusters then, they are the only ones who could get away with it, without worrying about animal rights.


You have to admit, it would be fun trying. :D

Hey and I do have a question about cattle mutilations.

In the middle of cattle country here. Yes, you do every once in while hear something strange, about the blood being drained of them and carcasses being dismembered in strange ways, and some partially im-bedded in the ground in the middle of a sort of impact zone/crater. Splat. Although the tree thing is one I haven't heard before. I've never seen this mind you.

I haven't heard anything like that in years though. There was more of it in the mid 90's I guess.

Most ranchers just scratch the back of their neck, say "weird", and tell the story in the bar for a few nights. (Which is where I get most of my accounts of this, so consider the source.)

Most people think it's kids, or Satanic cults, although they would have to go to a lot of trouble with the cow-throwing-catapult-thingy though. (Cow-tapult? Sorry. Had to, before someone else did. :) ) But there isn't a lot to do out here... Yah never know I guess.


Huh. I grew up on a farm and if these kids have discovered how to completely drain the carcass of blood sign up for mensa 8O I too had herd of the mutilations, but not the treed cow thing. Strange very strange.

Ahh dude I guess nobody tips cows anymore. Bummer. Kids today. sigh.

""Cow-tapult""

:lol: hmm..i`m thinking a cow size potato gun.. 8O
You know, i really think we should explore the human ass
and the cows much more, those things seem to be mighty
popular amongst aliens, maybe they know something we dont :)
Maybe its just the cows they are interested in, so since we eat
them the aliens just follow the cows path :lol: ""Hm..this is weird,
the cow went into that hole up there but it seems to be comming
out of another hole down here, we better do some probing and
get to the bottom of this...omg! what is that smell?"" :lol:

Maybe they like the smell?

Somebody back there was saying something about a lousy smell associated with them. Maybe they are just following their noses when it comes to trying to find commonalities between them and us.

Now, how would the cow sized potato gun work exactly? For that matter I'm not sure how a potato gun works exactly.

Frankly I think gettin' those cows up there is less mechanical physics and more "The Anarchists Cookbook."

But, I still like the idea of flingin' em.

P.S. I'm glad you like the cow-tapult. Somebody woulda' said it. Might as well be me. :D

Ah the good ol`A.C. oh boy did i wear that out as a kid :)
i burnt hole in steel thanks to that book, and i dont mean
with a blowtorch :)

Potato gun, a simple sylinder about the Ø of an average
potato, and some high pressure air connected with a "trigger"
to launch the potato over to the next state :)

So, a cow potatogun would require a pipe/sylinder with the Ø
of a cow and alot more airpressure :) could work, one never
knows, but poor cow -it`s a little Monthy Python-ish :)

Which is the fun.

We would only do that to one that was already dead.

If she was alive the noise would terrible! :lol:

I was about to protest that this scientist can't be all that well informed, if he doesn't know the difference between fatty acids (component of fats, especially cell membranes) and amino acids (components of proteins). Then I found I had misread. You quoted an informal scientist. I can go along with that. You made my day, actually. Thank you.

Umm. Obligatory alien content? Ah, here:

Obama must be an alien. He's half made of cloth, just like the aliens in one of the Dr Who episodes. And he ate my hamster. While riding a flying cow. And he carries a concealed potato gun. So there.

Oh, and a trebuchet gets round the problem of fitting the calibre of the gun to the size of the cow.
