There is an urban legend going around in the UK, more specifically, Manchester, that a Norwiegen (excuse the spelling) fishing trawler was destroyed by cows that fell out of the sky; upon the fishermens rescue investigators did not believe thier story, thinking that it was far more likely to be an insurance scam. Then, a few years later the Russian government admitted that in the chaos of the fall of the USSR military unit “lent” one of thier huge planes to a cattle smuggler who flew a herd of cows but promptly ejected them when they got very rowdy, these cows promptly hit the fishing boat. Is there any credence to this whatsoever?
Snopes says False.
many thanks

I have a flying cow! And I sent my best friend a flying pig! It flies around her office all day. Well it actually flies around the light fixture, where its tethered.

--Dave Barry, ** Dave Barry Slept Here**The story appeared in the local newspaper, Sacbee, in my area (Sacramento) a few years back.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying its true just saying its funny that a large newspaper published it as a true story.
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog stood in the field as a sentry
But alas, the poor cow burned up on re-entry
We gave one of these to our friends last Cristmas. I couldn’t resist, becaiuse on the side of the box, among the many features of the Flying Cow, it lists “Soothing Motion”.
I always thought our friends could benefit from the Soothing Motion of a cow flying around their living room.
And you thought cleaning BIRD poop off your car was a hassle…
