Thanks for this post, this is the brain exercise stuff that I come here for.
Fascinating!
Now, to inject humor, largely because I have child-like siblings all over the house, I've got to connect the scientific use of methane gas with the incessant babbling going on around me.
To sink Bin Laden's navy, how do we get my cows to fart underwater?
Seriously, thanks for this post.

To sink Bin Laden's navy, how do we get my cows to fart underwater?

Years ago, some of my colleagues at a military electronics lab were looking in the manual that covers the uniform (JAN) coding system for naming technical materiel. For example, one of the radar displays we were working on was designated the SPA-25, where "SPA" somehow meant "Shipborne Display, Radar."

They noticed that if you had, say, a "BBB-3", it would mean "Underwater Bombing Pigeon, Mark III."

So it would not surprise me if there was already a designation available for "Underwater Farting Cow."
