What lazy cattle might look like.

Between the pic with the caption "These cows were killed by lightning," and the final sentence of "A hedgehog was also killed," this is one of the weirder articles I have read this week.

Wanted for questioning

Best damn article I've read in a while.

+1 for Subby.

/laughed, then read the article... not so funny really.

Best headline of the day.
+1

nvmac: +1 for Subby.

/laughed, then read the article... not so funny really.

I didn't laugh until I got to the part about the hedgehog. That just pushed the article into a whole new level of weirdness.

A hedgehog was also killed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Pre-cooked steaks?

Dinsdale?

I smell BBQ.

I could not stop laughing while reading this article. Comedy gold.

Has Dave Barry been alerted to this?

I am not afraid of the IRS. Why should I be?

The Michael Bay Ranch?

good one Subby

I avoid bad news by not answering the phone at all.

Seems to be working.

My BS detector is going off on this one.

Best article of '09. Good headline too.

I'm a bull and have been electrocuted, so I'm getting a kick. . .

This will now be the last line in all of my email at work on Monday.
"A hedgehog was also killed"

Musto: This will now be the last line in all of my email at work on Monday.
"A hedgehog was also killed"

That's right up there with "he was a wonderful man of God, the goat was later shot"

That might be because of the shock of electricity through the cattle's bowels.

Funny how every three months or so some newstroll digs out this photo and writes a slightly different story to go with it.

This is one of the funnier ones, though. Only because of the hedgehog.

And what story was this?!?

Wow. I'm at work right now (radio station) and was still laughing about this right before I went on to introduce a Miley Cyrus song, luckily I made it through.

I kind of want to talk about this on air, but I think I would be laughing too hard, and I don't think the listeners would find it as funny as I do.

After reading the article, I immediately thought of this picture:

I don't know why I find the idea of exploding cows so amusing. Maybe something's wrong with me.

Also, I'm upset about the hedgehog.

GIS for picture unrelated:



/what a dead animal may look like

mmmm pre-cooked steak.

I must be a horrible person, because the picture of the frozen dead baby seal is really cracking me up. Look at the snow on its face.. ROFL.

Poor hedgehog.

I worked for a guy who used to get a call every six months that began, "Hello, I am [name] with the criminal investigation division of the Internal Revenue Service." The calls were spaced just far enough apart that he did not immediately remember that the criminal division of the IRS was a customer.

AuCinaoaMie: I am not afraid of the IRS. Why should I be?

They have created an overly complex system no normal citizen can completely grasp that comes with profound consequences should you fail at any part of it. And it is manadatory.

This is the reason.

He's not dead. We can rebuild him.

Uwe Boll's already optioned the film rights.

Many bovines died to bring us this information.

I was once told that the IRS was calling me. That's what the guy told me and then he asked for my Social Security Number. I was skeptical.

Phishing is not new - this happened last century - they were phishing by phone instead of e-mail.

I was annoyed, but nothing more. These days I get more annoyed by getting 6 weather alerts at a time on pager for work. The pager is only supposed to go off we can't kill animals fast enough or something like that. It causes extreme pressure. If I die of a heart attack the next time I get 6 weather alerts in a row from some service that nobody signed up for I hope some executive is left homeless from the lawsuit that ensues.

They didn't look very exploded to me.

A hedgehog was also killed.

"96, 97, 98, 99, 100-- done!" said the author, who was paid by the word.

The hedgehog line and the comments in this thread have just made my week. Yeah, it's been a crap week, but, damn, hahahahahah!

Son, your cows are exploding.

Fark! Not again.



/Hot like an exploding cow

What was Ron Jeremy doing there?

FarkAssMaximus: Son, your cows are exploding.

Fark! Not again.

Oooh, ok. I was thinking that pic looks very familiar. It's just the ol' stock photo attached to an exploding cow story, huh.

I don't know what was funnier - the fact that the bulls exploded and THEN caught fire, or the final sentence: "A hedgehog was also killed."
