Meanwhile, high above the cliff, two aliens are high-fiving each other and shouting, “Bullseye!”
Pushed? Or… tipped?
Nine lives, eh? Do I have to worry about zombie steak?
GRAAAAAAAAINS…
I’d better get some cownip just to be safe.
Cows always land on their hooves?
They must use those masive tails to right themselves in midair.
No, if you strap buttered toast to the back of a cow, it will always land on one side or another.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t it be she?
Its fall was broken by the minivan.
What!?
Damn, Autolycus. How did you get the O’s to go off the page like that? Cool effect.
I didn’t realize minivans were that…soft.
Wait a minute. If toast always lands buttered side down and cows always land on their feet, won’t they cancel each other, resulting in the cow spinning in the air several inches above the ground?
Holy cow! I think I’ve discovered antigravity! :eek:
Which will, according to the Right Hand Rule induce a current flow in the cow.
No, you’ve discovered virtually free energy. One presumes that the cow must be fed and the butter renewed periodically.
Uh, if this is a dairy cow, the butter would be self renewing, provided you keep feeding it.
ETA: Since butterfat originates from the udder, does that not mean the cow would always land on it’s feet?
Cow should’ve read this thread:

Or maybe it DID, and that’s why it survived. Not that it helped, in the long run.
This raises the question, if you place a cow on a treadmill and cause the treadmill to run at a speed equal to the cow’s and in the opposite direction…
No, maybe I’d better leave that one alone.
Don’t worry everyone, it wasn’t me.

Win.
Ditto.
So it’s entropy or conservation of energy or Free Silver or something like that which ruins the free energy plans. Dammit.
