Gassy German Cows Blamed For Barn Explosion

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's a wonder that the government building in Salisbury hasn't experienced the same problem.

    Cattle farts are the largest contributor to global warming, not humans. True fact!

    12:20, please prove global warming first.

    Mastodons farted too during the Ice Age. Ice was still there.

    Oh, wait. Farting animals are the ones that brought us out of the Ice Age and into the moderate climate we enjoy today.

    Wow. You just proved Global warming!

    So, change your diet so you don't fart so much, and quit feeding your cattle that crap food!
