BERLIN - A herd of dairy cows nearly lifted the roof off their barn in central Germany when methane released by the animals caused an explosion.

Police in Hesse state said in a statement that a static electric charge apparently triggered the detonation, and a spurt of flame, on Monday at a farm in Rasdorf. The roof was slightly damaged and one cow suffered light burns. No people were hurt.

Police say 90 cows are kept in the shed and it wasn't clear why quantities of methane had built up. Bovine belching and flatulence releases large quantities of the gas.

It is thought that a static charge from a cow massage machine was to blame.

Serves them right for using a machine to replace human moo-sseurs.

and one cow suffered light burns. No people were hurt.

Asked how much of the cow's body was burned, authorities responded: 2%

"Bovine belching and flatulence" is a great description of what my house will be like Sunday.

I'll be steering clear of your house then.

He'll probably milk his insurance for all they are worth. Though they'll want the whole story.

Beano not available in Germany?

Mrs. O'Leary's story is finally vindicated.

 

[grateful zed]

a very tender subject.

Was this in Hamburg(er), Germany?

 

[DiStefano]

Right now, you cud say it's a moo point. But it did raise the roof.

In a medium like this, it's rare to find stories about exploding cow flatulence that are well done.

I want to know who's responsible for this mis-steak.

No air flow because the farmer had close everything off with how brisket is outside.
