Haha! Fear our terrifying cows of death!!on bbc.co.uk, a journalist not named wrote:German cows cause methane blast in Rasdorf
Methane gas released by dairy cows has caused an explosion in a cow shed in Germany, police said
If it had to happen anywhere, that a group of cows would unleash such a blast ferocious enough to make the news, it had to be German cows.
The radio reports that the local vet fears they may have to kill and slaughter the poor, brave cow that was seriously injured. Yes, the radio is reporting on the medical prognosis of a cow here. What else would you expect, you heartless person!

They also reported two nice tidbits on the radio just now:
1) the sparks that cause the explosion came from ... the automated cow-massaging machine.

2) the little village this happened in has, for a while now, apparently, branded itself a "biogas" village, to advertise their extensive use of animal emissions for energy generation. Had to be, couldn't be any other way. This is the Chernobyl of biogas, this is!
