Cows show potential to be the new power plants
A new study suggests that some of the microorganisms found in cow waste may provide a reliable source of electricity.
Results showed that the microbes in about a half a liter of rumen fluid – fermented, liquefied feed extracted from the rumen, the largest chamber of a cow's stomach – produced about 600 millivolts of electricity. That's about half the voltage needed to run one rechargeable AA-sized battery, said Ann Christy, a study co-author and an associate professor of food, agricultural and biological engineering at Ohio State University.

Get the sea cowmug. Going out and hitting on the largest girl in the bar. The goal is to get her interested so that she starts buying shots for you and her until she "tips over." This activity is great when you are bored and want to keep your tab low.
Ever since the Lambdas got kicked off campus they have been going downtown to go cow tipping every weekend.
That guy from the new Gamma fraternity tried to go cow tipping the other night but forgot he drinks like a fairy and ended up getting drunk and going home with her.
