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 ( Read more... )

Tiger, I have tried cow tipping b4 (I was on Mt Dew...LOOOOONG story) and I have a secret - even I, in my 120 lbs of burning, drunk rage, can push over a cow IF IT IS STANDING ON A HILL. Yes, that's right. Worship at my feet, for I have found a way to factor GRAVITY into that cute little chart of yours ( ... )

Not Bumfag Hill.
Bumfagging Hill.

Don't believe there is one folks? Check any physical map of B-town.

You have all overlooked a few major points. It depends on where the force is applied to the cow. I'm just guessing that you or Nicole (regardless of what you drank) are not going to be able to push a cow over (thats the clockwise part of the equation above that you pirated, called torque) unless you manage to jump high enough to get the top of its back. Secondly, if you jump on it, you create a perfectly inelastic collision, meaning your weight would become part of their weight. Second, the stance of the cow. If is has full udders, it will have a wider stance and a lower center of gravity. So what you are looking for is a cow that you can get to the top of, preferably has skinny, long legs, and isn't going to land on a rock cause cows are expensive.
Good luck

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...

"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.
