Looks like those pesky scientists are getting bored again. Having solved all the serious problems in the world they’ve turned their attention to the additional methane produced by the bovine, and ovine members of society. Or at least, so claims the BBC.

Comes as a bit of surprise to me that most of the methane produced by cows comes from their mouths rather than the other end. Just as well they don’t smoke.

Fire-breathing cattle, now that would be neat. You never know, that might be where the whole idea of Dragons came from. Back in those days there would be plenty of naked flames about due to the lack of electricity, so maybe all the fire breathing monsters were really just startled cows and sheep. (If you just breathed fire you’d be startled too)

Paints a rather amusing mental image of the true story of George and the Dragon. At least after the battle there’d have been a good stew or pot roast.
