Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
I seriously considered playing possum this morning. I cannot believe we now have our very own version of Dubya running the country. Gack!
ReplyDeleteAt this point, I think we can no longer complain about the stupid Americans that voted Bush in ... unless we include the stupid Canadians that just voted for "change." What change? We've had either Liberal or Conservative governments for how long?
