Last year when I first came to Dover, someone asked where I was from. Not an unordinary question Freshman year. I told them I was from Barrington. They asked me if I ever went cow tipping.

This hasn't happened too many times, but enough that I feel it is necessary to write a journal entry explaining the art of cow tipping

Hate to break it to you but cows do not sleep standing up. Whoever came up with it was probably some urbanite who couldn't tell a cow from a moose anyway.

Now if you did the impact force of hitting a moose with your car out in B-town, that would be cool.

Cows sleep standing up when they feel threatened and uncomfortable. (So as long as I'm around, they'll be standin' up all night long.) Animals such as cows and horses have locking mechanisms in their legs so they do not fall over while sleeping. They are animals of prey, and when sleeping outside, they are probably standing up.

Hitting a moose in B-town.
Usually there's signs where moose are allowed to cross the road. "MOOSE CROSSING NEXT FIVE MILES". Bet you didn't know cows are only allowed to cross in specified areas. There's also "BRAKE FOR MOOSE - IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE". I'm sure someone has already calculated the impact force of hitting a moose with your car. But it could also be the same whackjob who put signs up for moose crossing. Maybe I should calculate some more...

Michaela's next entry...
"Will braking for moose really save your life?"

Damnit, you win:

Dispite popular belief, While cows may nap for short periods of time standing-up, prolonged sleep is always laying down in a prone position. Horses, on the other hand, only lay down when they are ill.

thats a load of bull...to get any kind of decent night's sleep, horses NEED to lie down. Haven't you seen your horse lie down in her stall to go to sleep?

My horse runs around her stall all night long.
Psycho.

That information was from a zoologist... and they are always right. I have seen many very healthy horses lay down though. Spanky snores. Cute cute cute.
