Scientists are testing "methane backpacks" on cows as a way to reduce emissions

this is not a joke, though it is funny!

You're way behind the times. Methane emissions from ruminants come mostly from burps rather than farts and programmes are already under way to breed ruminants with a lesser tendency to burp methane.

I'd think the backpacks were simply intended to help monitor the cows output, not control it.

 

[cnm]

Of course. But this is basquebromance after all.

Do you recall the SNL skit with the character (Will Ferrel, I think), in a chamber with three or four back ends of cows farting away as he took notes. His girlfriend shows up and tries to talk him into taking a different career so they can spend their lives together. But he's too dedicated to his work.

I'm paraphrasing the insight of the agwcultists

In other words, you made it up.

Frank thinks SSDD has a really cute ass and would like to get his hand on it.

Frank wishes he'd worn a mask when he robbed that bank down on Jefferson last week.

Frank believes beating his wife and children is supported by the word of god.

It's okay, I just made it all up, though I didn't really have to tell you unless someone called me on them.
