IT is the kind of story you hear from a friend of a friend — how, after a long night in a rural hostelry and at a loss for entertainment in the countryside, they head out into a nearby field.

There, according to the second-hand accounts, they sneak up on an unsuspecting cow and turn the poor animal hoof over udder.

But now, much to the relief of dairy herds, the sport of cow-tipping has been debunked as an urban, or perhaps rural, myth by scientists at a Canadian university.

This post is for my dead hommies in northern Canada. Scientists say, cow tippin ain't easy. Sometimes its deadly.

We keeps it real.

two people might be able to tip a cow,�� she said. ��But the cow would have to be tipped quickly — the cow��s centre of mass would have to be pushed over its hoof before the cow could react.��


-so its possible then.

Would you believe me if i said i can make a line of 15 chickens doze off to sleep in a line, then jump up awake, at my command?
