This may be the UK but the cow was in Brazil, so it is a metric cow. Reply to this message | Report message

If it didn't survive it would still be a metric cow, Kilos in a freezer. :-) Reply to this message | Report message

If it weighed 2205lb it was a one tonne cow. If it was 2240lb it was a one ton cow. The best bit - "Local media says this is the third such incident in the region in the past three years." Reply to this message | Report message

>> If it weighed 2205lb it was a one tonne cow. If it was 2240lb it was a one ton cow. It's just commonsense to reinforce your roof if cows can walk on it, whether they be metric or imperial. 35lb weight won't make that much difference. I wonder, in a spirit of total idleness, how much the horse weighed in that mafia movie? Are horses heavier than cattle? I feel we need to know, to the nearest gramme (or pennyweight).

>> I wonder, in a spirit of total idleness, how much the horse weighed in that mafia movie? You utter fool AC. It was just the horse's head and neck in that mafia movie, and slipped into the guy's pit by wily gangsters while he was fast asleep, not dropped on him through the roof in a welter of corrugated asbestos shards and feeble tree branches.

>> Shape up man! Ooh, ah, yeah, quite right now you come to mention it. Obviously the horse's head in that mafia movie would weigh a lot less than even a one tonne cow. All the same though, forgive me but would a racehorse weigh more than a beef? If I were a Brazilian who lived round there in that sort of house I would try to weave in a lot more feeble tree branches as soon as possible. Many a mickle makes a muckle.

They used to keep cows on the roof of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg to provide fresh milk for the imperial household. Reply to this message | Report message

Maybe the BBC herd it was a short horn cow, and thought it meant short ton cow? They cud have got it wrong. Normally they have things pat, but that report was just tripe. Time for a cup of tea and a brisket. No need to rib them if they are happy to shoulder the blame. Reply to this message | Report message

Surely you don't have to have all your pubic hair ripped out simultaneously by the roots to get into UKIP? Mind you it would explain the agonized rictus that Mr Vuvuzela's smile sometimes seems to be... Reply to this message | Report message       1
