Cow Falls Out of Sky Onto Minivan Driving By

Washington: A 600-pound cow landed on top of Linda and Charles Everson's minivan hood near Manson as they returned to their hotel room Sunday. The cow, which had to be euthanized, went over the edge of a 200-foot cliff, heavily damaging the vehicle.

According to Arnold Baker, a Chelan County fire chief, the couple escaped with their lives by only inches. The Westland, Michigan, couple were celebrating one year of marriage by visiting the area.

To play it safe, they visited Lake Chelan Community Hospital to be checked out. Charles, 49, only realized later what happened, having never seen the falling cow. All he said he could say at the time was "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."

I just saw this a few minutes ago on CNN this morning. The front of the van was caved in and it's amazing that either passenger had a scratch on them.

I've got to get some sort of falling barn yard animal insurance....

[dirt_dobber]

Got Milk?

[MavsX]

Got Michelle?

[Smiles]

At 600 lbs, Michelle is practically a baby!

Poor Michelle.

[Flacolaco]

I was sure that evil would have posted a picture of veal Parmesan by now.

[purplefrog]

Do you think Michelle committed suicide or was it an accident? I hear suicide in farm animals is very rare because cownseling is readily available.

[Dirkadirkastan]

This story would have been pretty funny, except for the whole, y'know... imminent death thing.

[Flacolaco]

Maybe people should really beef up their vehicles to avoid injuries in situations like this.

hahah, lol..rep for you my friend!

[bernardos70]

Great, now these weak news outlets will milk this story for weeks on end.

Maybe the mysterious case of Michelle the falling cow provides evidence to support this:

Cow Tipping
Cow tipping is an alleged activity performed by participants who sneak up on an upright, sleeping cow and push it over for fun. There are factors which make success in this unlikely, and a variety of calculations have been applied to determine if cow tipping is physically possible, sometimes with humorous intention.

Academics in the zoology department of the University of British Columbia have concluded that cow tipping is impossible, noting also that cows sleep while lying down. Some consider the attempt to practice it as an act of animal abuse.

In 2004, a Florida legislator proposed a ban on "cruelty to bovines", which while not specific to cow tipping, included language that would apply to cow tipping: "A person who, for the purpose of practice, entertainment, or sport, intentionally fells, trips, or otherwise causes a cow to fall or lose its balance by means of roping, lassoing, dragging, or otherwise touching the tail of the cow commits a misdemeanor of the first degree." The statute did not pass into law.

I almost hit a cow(s) one night driving through the Texas hill country. I had just gone to Enchanted Rock National Park with my girlfriend.

Apparently their cattle are free-grazing, meaning they can chill on the streets whenever they want. It was pitch black outside, so my headlights could only see so far. I had to literally stop on the dime to avoid killing freaking Blue Bell and her friends.

I definitely would have taken that thing with me and cooked it if it had totalled my car. -_-

[u2sarajevo]

I don't have the stomachs to process this story...

[MavsX]

lets all say a prayer in remembrance of Michelle.

Usually you get T-boned from the side, not the top of your car.

cow tipping is just like snipe hunting. you tell someone you're going to do it, take them out there, then leave them in the field (or woods, for snipe hunting) and head back home.

[purplefrog]

I thought this would be a fitting tribute to the life and very unfortunate death of Michelle. It explains the world in the context of "two cows". It's an oldie but goodie that's travelled the net a time or two.

TWO COWS ...

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE -You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cow.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE -You have two cows. The government takes the milk and pays you for it and then pours the milk down the drain.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE -You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

DEMOCRAT -You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful.

REPUBLICAN -You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?

SOCIALIST -You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.

COMMUNIST -You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

FLORIDA CORPORATION -You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best looking one. Some of the people who like the brown one best, vote for the black one. Some people vote for both. Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which is the best looking cow.

AMERICAN CORPORATION -You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have down sized and are reducing expenses. Your stock goes up.

FRENCH CORPORATION -You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch and drink wine. Life is good.

ITALIAN CORPORATION -You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.

GERMAN CORPORATION -You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.

POLISH CORPORATION -You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them.

JAPANESE CORPORATION -You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains.

RUSSIAN CORPORATION - You have two cows. You have some vodka. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

I think you need to add something about chinese cows....

CHINESE - You have two cows, but they've been recalled by the government due to a dangerous chemical that is harmful to children.

Stampede as cows escape from McDonald's
By staff writers

November 14, 2007 10:57am

EIGHT cows escaped from a trailer when the driver pulled into a McDonald's in the town of West Haven in Utah.

Wayne Sanders, who was at the truck stop next door to the McDonald's, said he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the cows.

"I don't know where they came from, but I'd say they'd have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot."

Weber County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Creager suggested: "Maybe they were going to ... hop in the freezer, save the middleman."

However,*Lt. Kevin Burns had a different theory: "They didn't like their future."

Nicknaming the roundup "Operation Hamburger Helper", it took two hours to get the cows safely back in the trailer.

Local reports did not say whether the cows were destined for*hamburger patties*in the end.
