There's a photo in the newspaper showing university veterinarian Robert O'Brien squatting under a suspected cow, peering intently at an electronic device while holding some kind of sensor against the cow's udder, looming large overhead. You look at this dramatic photo, and you cannot help but envision it as the basis for a major action film

He's not kidding, folks!

Veterinarian Robert O'Brien of the University of Wisconsin-Madison uses ultrasound equipment to look for any tampering to enlarge a cow's udder.

When we think of Wisconsin, we think of it as the Nation's Heartland ... Minnesota (the Nation's Spleenland) and Iowa (the Nation's Pancreaticglandland).

I nominate Indiana as the Nation's Pinealglandland

Sigh. So many reasons I'm glad I moved out of Wisconsin. The Milwaukee mayor is sexually harassing women in the office, the old county exec snuck through a bogus pension plan, the police chief is corrupt and ineffective, and now people are tampering with cow udders.

I am amaized.

A virtual canyoucoppafeela of excess details; neigh, even a plenum of delight.

But lettuce not milk this thread for all its worth.

We should go plow firmer pastureyes.

We should ask why the vet, if he is so experienced, is wearing white socks with brown pants.
