Isn't cow tipping a myth....
I'm assuming that the "cow tipping" post was an attempt at humor. Horses sleep standing up. Cows sleep lying on their sides. (While I'm no expert, I was raised on a dairy farm) Besides, the simply physics of it dictate that a 1,000 lb. cow just couldn't be tipped over by a single person, even if the cow would just stand there and take it. (They won't)
My daughter is going to college for an engineering and physics degree and you can't imagine all of her classmates who are dumbfounded when she tells them that there is no such thing as cow tipping. It's like somebody just told a 20 year old for the first time that Santa and the Easter bunny don't exist.
The next thing you'll tell us is there are no such things as snipes.
