This has to be the best news headline in years. San Antonio's WOAI has this to say about the excitement that happened last night near Seguin, Texas:
Watson told News 4 WOAI, "We believe the gate of the cattle trailer came open, and the cow, for lack of a better phrase spilled out onto the Interstate. It was pretty chaotic for a while."
Several cars hit some of the cows. One cow died. DPS troopers called for backup.
That's when one officer was nearly run down by a speeding truck, carrying two illegal immigrants inside.
Seguin Police were out looking for those illegal immigrants. They parked their cars in the hot grass, burning two of them including that brand new 2006 Crown Victoria. Watson said, "Well, all of a sudden, another officer who'd arrived on the scene, alerted the sergeant that there was a fire."
Everything inside was destroyed, including tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment designed for the patrol cars.
For what it's worth, my dad lived in Seguin for a while as a child and several ancestors helped settle the area. I would not be too terribly surprised if some of the participants involved in this romp were relatives, albeit (hopefully) distant.
Now thats a headline you don't see everyday.......
How about the golfer "Chi Chi Rodriquez".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_cow
The exploding cow is the alleged practice of fart lighting with cattle. As a cow produces about 280 liters of methane-rich flatulence each day some people believe that by using a tube inserted into a cow's anus, one can ignite the gas and cause the cow to explode.
Methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2) are the main flammable ingredients of bovine intestinal gas. The oxidation of one part of methane requires two parts of oxygen. In contrast, burning hydrogen requires much less oxygen:
CH4 + 2O2 ¨ CO2 + 2H2O
2H2 + O2 ¨ 2H2O
And besides that The Exploding Cow would be a dynamite (groan) name for a rock band.
"The Exploding Cow would be a dynamite (groan) name for a rock band."
I think I saw them at Berkley once...
