New power source?

[magnatom]

I think I've had an idea for a new source of power....

All we'd need to do is strap these things to all the cows in the UK and collect the gases on a weekly basis. From the methane we would be able to generate electricity, whilst converting the methane to CO2 (reducing the greenhouse effect).

I think this is a brilliant idea! My only niggling concern is cows exploding in thunderstorms, but once I have that problem solved..........

Couldn't do that around here, the kids would blow them up!

What's wrong with the odd cow exploding? It's not like they're an endangered species.

Messy. Very messy.

If it proves effective then farmers might get into the power industry and have battery cows.

A better power source is to find a big-breasted cycling partner and use the bounce of her breasts to generate power through the use of the Bionic Bra:

"It turns out that the physics of breast motion has been studied closely for the last two decades by a gamut of researchers – most of them women"

I don't know about you, but I find this rather surprising.

Have you any idea how much poo is in a cow at any given time? I was in the U.S. some time ago and arrived at a scene of an accident where a cow had wandered onto the road and been hit by a truck, very messy, mainly poo.
