German cows blow up their barn by farting too much

[Rochester]

The roof was damaged and one of the cows was injured in the blast in the central German town of Rasdorf.

Thanks to the belches and flatulence of the 90 dairy cows in the shed, high levels of the gas had built up.

Then "a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames" the force said in a statement quoted by Reuters news agency.

1. 500 liters of methane each per day

Confined space cattle operations are not recommended, unless you plan on capturing and removing that gas.

Too bad we can't harness the gas as alternative energy.

Dude is sitting on a goldmine of natural gas.
