[QUOTE]Their flatulence and belching led to a build up of gas in the cow shed in Rasdorf.The roof of the shed was damaged after a static electric charge sparked an explosion. One cow – of the 90 in the shed – was injured in the blast.
Police in Rasdorf told Reuters: “A static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames.”[/QUOTE]

There should be better ventilation where live animals are kept. . .
Could have been more embarrassing, like if someone was smoking in the cow shed.
Must be failed test of the experimental self-barbecuing cow.
theres actual areas where methane is so concentrated that some farmers or workers dont pay attention and die extremely quickly, there was even a story on five people being killed trying to rescue eachoer one at a time not knowing what was killing them: [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-465971/Mennonite-family-die-deadly-methane-gas-farm-manure-pit.html[/url]

too bad the CDC has a whole article exactly warning this shit happens often: [url]http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/90-103/[/url]
I was expecting a bunch of cows with those methane tanks on their backs with tubes shoved up their butts to have exploded.
What did you really expect from something involving Michele Bachmann?
EDIT: Oops. Wrong thread.
I thought this was proving the childhood myth that if you burped and farted at the same time that you would explode. Was a little disappointed...

I do believe you wandered into the wrong thread; but she isn't very much better than a methane produced cow bomb

I expected her to be the single cow who manage to blow herself with her flatulent remarks.
The cows were just having a little drunken fun lighting farts, and the rest is history.
How come nobody thought of harvesting all those methane those cows keep on farting? This is potential biofuel.
