And now for something completely different

I forlængelse af gårsdagens indlæg om at finde Lille Jep, kommer her to andre snapshots (fra sidste uges SøndagsAvisen), som jeg fandt uimodståelige.  Kan det virkelig være sandt? I så fald er jeg, hvad den øverste historie angår, umådelig glad for at min lokale mælkepusher har sine køer i en løsdriftstald med rigelig udluftning. Jeg vurderer, at eksplosionsfaren dér må være minimal ...  (men sikker kan jeg jo naturligvis ikke være. Så når jeg tager ud og henter mælk, er det så min version af at leve livet farligt. Her til morgen hilste jeg på to nyfødte kalve og klappede adskillige staldkatte. Nøj, det var mere risikabelt end jeg umiddelbart antog.)

Newspaper clipping: Last week, 90 German cows farted so much that the methane gas exploded. Part of the stables burned down; fortunately only one cow seems to have been inflicted with fire burns.

(I get my milk from a local dairy farmer. But her cows live in a very open, well-aired barn, so I'm thinking the risk of an explosion is minimal. Although, of course, one never knows. I'm not very familiar with the properties of methane gas. So in theory, the milk run could be my version of living on the edge ...)

...and a Brazilian woman had to have 272 spikes removed from her head after a porcupine fell from a lamp post and landed on her.

Can all this really be true?  What a very amazing world, eh :-)
