Scientists to Make Cows Fart Like Kangaroos to Cool the Planet
Cow farts are a source of greenhouse gases, while kangaroo farts are methane free thanks to a particular bacteria in their stomachs. Now, in a bizarre twist of science-reality, scientists from Australia are trying to neutralize cow-produced methane by transferring that kangaroo bacteria to cattle and sheep’s guts. According to the government of Queensland, almost 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions from Australia come from cow farts, so this seemingly silly idea could actually make a big difference.
You know, the reason we don't allow students to listen to music in school may have less to do with their paying attention and more to do with it driving everyone else CRRRAZY. Man, this kid is really getting up my nose.
I think it's cow burps that produce most of the methane, not the farts, but still.
If people just stopped eating so much red meat they wouldn't have to go messing with their digestive systems anyway.
ION, it doesn't feel like Friday until I see the Friday Cephalopod.
Where is it???

Maybe it's there but you can't see it. Cephalopods are the masters of camouflage after all.
Dammit, it could be anywhere....
Perhaps I have an infestation of the rare South American desk squid....
Happy birthday, ita! I'm taking your recent ER visit with the competent people who did right by you as a good omen for the year. Because you're long overdue.
Cephalopod, schmephalopod. I want my Left Behind Friday.

But that usually doesn't arrive until the afternoon, so it's sorta' like a bonus for getting through most of Friday. The Friday Cephalopod sets the tone for the whole day....
And then there's Friday Cat Blogging. Inkblot and Domino....
