BERLIN (AP) — 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.


Hmmm. Cows. Why not horses? Don't tell Eisboch of the Luddite Clan.


She will just promise to keep the herd under 90.
