Flatulent cows start fire at dairy farm
2014-01-28
Methane gas from 90 flatulent cows exploded in a German farm shed on Monday, damaging the roof and injuring one of the animals, police said.

High levels of the gas had built up in the structure in the central German town of Rasdorf, then "a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames," the force said in a statement. One cow was treated for burns, a police spokesman added.
Gosh, I hate it when that happens.

This is what happens when you take their guns.

#6  I don't believe it. The concentration has to be just right for an explosion to occur, about 13%, if I remember my Mythbusters correctly, and the spark has to be just right.

Nope, I'm smelling urban legend not cow farts.
