You put the head on the wrong end.

"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.:)

You come up with that 3 mins after the article is posted. Scarey.

A simple Google search for "falling cows" brings up the signs pretty quickly. Here's another ...

You can never be too cowfall...

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.

[Lady Jag]

By the way, I had to confiscate the gif.

[Daffynition]

The privacy of your own home? Well I herd otherwise. ;-D

[Lady Jag]

The blinds are closed and what is just inside?

The MIB.

So you think ...there are spies everywhere. ;-)

“Must have been fun explaining that one to the insurance company.”

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

[MoochPooch]

Bet right beforehand the couple were quarreling & the husband said, “Don’t have a cow.”

Dare we ask (it wasn’t a buffalo was it)?

[swmobuffalo]

“Dare we ask (it wasn’t a buffalo was it)?”

(chuckle)

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.
