genetically engineer cows to gravitate and form milking station points all over poverty stricken areas in the world. These herds will float and be refuelled (graze) in mid air (once they get used to air sickness).

And megatons of cowpoop will rain from the skies... |
|
| |
This is a good thing (the raining cowpoop, that is)! Just think of the value to the depleted soil that is often associated with poor parts of the world... |
|
| |
Hm. Maybe the cows could be engineered to pee pure water as well, to serve as substitute rain. |
|
| |
They can float over YOUR house, then...<grin> |
|
| |
I'm not convinced that bovine lighter-than-air travel is practical. The better solution, as I see it, is to launch the cows with catapults and genetically engineer them to have a life-span of eighteen to twenty seconds. |
|
| |
But that raises the question of what to call the launching device. Cowtapult? Moomerbang? |
|
| |
The cows would soon be shot down and enjoyed for their meat; and who would replace them? The American taxpayer? |
|
| |
solutions or problems can spring from crazy halfbaked
ideas. But the point is very clear, food distribution, and
more importantly, waste prevention, is a serious issue.
Perhaps that should be re-iterated to your average
overweight, overwasteful, american taxpayer ! |
|
| |
But now that foot and mouth disease is spreading like
crazy, perhaps mobility won't be so popular. Unless you
de-contaminate at every stage? |
|
| |
Presumably this would add new
life to the phrase "And pigs
might fly". |
|
| |
It might, of course, also
result in lots of new phrases
along the lines of "Holy flying
cow, batman" - which would be
good. I'm all in favour of
phrases like that. |
|
| |
besides the engineering difficulties of airborne cattle...most people in nations other than the United States are lactose intolerant...so they might not appreciate the gesture even if it were an effective milk delivery system |
|
| |
really? I don't live in the US, and i've got to say there aren't many lactose intolorant people here.. |
|
| |
How 'bout downunder: UB, mighty_cheese? |
|
| |
Ah, America. Birthplace of the allergy-afflicted geek. |
|
| |
if we can use pigs instead of cows i've got a whole set of dates lined up.... |
|
| |
Do cows get air sick???? this could be really messy. |
