Incredible but true... Aussie cows

[GenghisK]

I was told that in Australia, farmers used to pay $300 (aussie dollar of course...) to the Army to have them use helicopters to take away the farmers dead cows. Now they find that really expensive so they've found a new method. They fill the dead cows with TnT and then blow them up. The pieces of meat will spread over the fields and will feed the birds. Very clever. But the problem (as always) concerns the politicians. They disagree with this method because they fear tourists don't appreciate piece of bloody meat flying... Pfff, these politicians, always the same.

Yeah,
I heard another true fact : farmers pay to have their cows vaccinated against farting !
Apparently, cow farts are more polluting than carbon monoxide or dioxide. So this vaccine makes their farts less polluting. Good for the global warming effect.
In fact it should be implemented in CIV. Cow fart vaccine advance : diminishes pollution and slows global warming effect.
What u think ?

The cow lift problem was in an area of AUSTRIA, not Australia. It has alpine meadows with no road access, and a significant number of bovine deaths fro cliff falls and lightning. Lots of tourism, commonly by helicopter transportation or hiking. Bovine demolition is be prohibited, but there will be a subsidy for carcass removal.

Having a minor factual correction applied to a story does not make one look silly. Out of the gigabytes of infromation you will aquire over a lifetime, you shall get megabytes wrong, and you should be pleased usually when persons supply you corrected info..
One caveat here, if you endevor to correct me, make DAMN sure that you are right!
