"A cow fell about 200 feet off a cliff Sunday and landed on the hood of a minivan passing by Rocky Point about one mile east of Manson, officials said.
Charles Everson, Jr. and his wife Linda escaped injury.
"It was just 'bam' you just saw something come down and hit the hood," Charles Everson said this morning from his hotel room in Manson.
He and his wife are in the area from Westland, Mich., near Detroit, to celebrate their one-year anniversary, he said. They were on Highway 150 headed back to their hotel after attending a church service."

"I'm like, 'I don't believe this. I don't believe this. I don't believe this,' " Everson said, adding he repeated the phrase "about 20 times." All the driver said 'about 20 times' was "I don't believe this"?
Either the driver is from St. Olaf, or else he's severely profanity challenged.:)

Note that for launch angles greater than 45 degrees, the circular arc produced by your GIF is a very poor approximation of a parabolic trajectory. It looks more like the trajectory of a cruise missile. Please note the following equation to correct your accurate arc length: arcLength = (pi * chord * angle)/(180 * sin(angle)) ;-D

That IS a cruise missile, ergo the exploding moon.
The Great Beak, I mean, Really!
Besides, I only launch my cow in the privacy of my own home.

Been there, done that. Only it wasn’t a falling cow.

No, long story short, my husband hit a cow one night, it crushed the top of the car into the passenger compartment. Only by the hand of God did he walk away from it with scratches and a stiff neck. The insurance people had never handled such a thing, deer, yes, 1500 lb cows, no.
There still should be a picture of the car posted here at FR, I think on one of the Canteen threads from 2 years ago.
