I have heard that you can push a cow over while it's sleeping although I have never personally tried to do it. If I were going to tip a cow I would give it at least 20%.

Science, Schmience!

Too bad this thing was never given the "MythBusters" treatment.

Yes, scientists did the study; BUT did they ever actually try to tip a cow? At least “MythBusters” would have "put their money where their mouth is" and used a hands-on approach. They would have taken their study out of the lab and to the cow2 cow in the field.

Scientists couldn’t even agree on the mechanics of what such an undertaking would involve. With Mythbusters we wouldn’t have to thinking because it would have been all eyes and face_with_monocle on.

Wonder why MythBusters never did a “Cow Tipping” episode. (Probably, afraid of: "Do-Gooders For The Prevention Of Cow Tipping, Inc."?)

Scientist Sheldon tried with formulas to prove that it was not possible, while young Sheldon used the empirical approach with a real cow. 🐄

For all we know...

If one person tickles a cows toes, while another person whispers in its ear...maybe at some point it can be tipped over with a wind_blowing_face . sunglasses

All I'm saying is: UNTIL someone tries...can anyone declare with 100% certainty that cow tipping can't be done! face_with_raised_eyebrow


NOTE: I'm like 99% kidding...don't think anyone should be out-and-about trying to tip cows. The other 1% is because if someone did, I'd definitely watch the clip--probably more than once. slight_smile

ON ANOTHER NOTE: open_mouth to find out that cows even have toes.

The 'earworm' lurking in the back of my mind finally found its way to the surface...

The Bumblebee...

“Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.”

The long-short of it: Just because something has been 'laboratorily' declared impossible, does not mean Mother Nature doesn't have it handled!


NOTE TO GRAMMAR POLICE: If 'laboratorily' already had been a word...I wouldn't have had to make-it-up--RIGHT!? George, Charles, and Noah's fault. sunglasses

霍华德和伯纳黛特,谢尔顿和艾米,雷纳德和佩妮。当然,还剩拉贾依然形单影只。这三对恋人,其实代表了三种恋情。

English translation:

Howard and Bernadette, Sheldon and Amy, Leonard and Penny. Of course, Raj is still alone. These three couples actually represent three types of love.
