Oh George, not the livestock.
This is exactly why you have to keep your cows electrically grounded at all times, and in an inert atmosphere. They may not like it, but what price safety?
I used to light mine when they broke the surface in the bath tub when I was a kid.
What, no video? I’m disappointed.
His Arrogance is giving a speech tomorrow night. His science adviser might want to warn him of the dangers of any flame as he talks out of his a$$!
