If You Bring a Cow to Dinner ... Keep the Window Open

If you have ninety cows in a barn and the ventilation is not adequate, you will have methane, a LOT of methane.  Cows, cleverly enough, can belch methane in addition to farting it.  Previously it was thought only politicians could do this but science has predicted cows could do it too and now there's a barn in Germany that knows it for sure.  What convinced them was when the barn exploded and blew the roof off.  (AP:  Gassy German cows blamed for barn explosion)

It was verified later that there were no politicians inside the barn at the time so the only remaining possible cause was the methane from the cows.  When asked how it happened, the cows, like all politicians, lied about it but we know they were playing with matches.  Cows love to play with matches.

Germany is leading the world in the implementation of solar power ... and now, apparently, Germany also leads in exploding cows.

Note:  No cows were seriously injured in the exploding of this barn.
