"Fetchez la vache!

Well, he was old and now he's immortalised! Also, maybe it was one of those holy cows?

"6 cattle found dead in Texas had tongues missing" 11 hrs ago. More MPythonesque real life.

He might not have been particularly old but the cow was certainly holy. All cows in India are.

I'm speechless! I guess the cattle are too, I mean, you know , no tongues.

I googled it, too. Fact is stranger than fiction indeed!

That. Was. Sick.
But

funny!

Both the cow flying through the air and the tongues being cut out. And yesterday there was a woman trampled to death by a herd of cows for walking her dog near them. Cows hate dogs.

I remember years ago driving through Montana, and we stopped to watch two young bulls fighting. They were surrounded by a herd of cows. When one of the bulls quit and was chased off, the cows followed the bulls. It was just like a high school fight. Gary Larson drew the definitive cow cartoons, obviously based on fact. Google them if you don't have his books.

Where I live bulls are mostly culled when they reach full size, but young, adolescent as it were, with some allowed to live out their lives. However, cows are never culled and they roam the island happily eating plants in everyone's gardens. The cows are always dominant, bulls are peaceful family guys, and run away if you go up to them, cows stand their ground (or lie down!) and stare you down.

No bull?

Sharp. Nearly cut myself on that ;-)

Do not slice beef when reading GR messages. Ever.

I don't slice beef ever. Not a beefeater.

I LOVE Monty Python! We are the Knights who say NEE!

Near where I live, there was a sign to a new housing development called The Shrubbery. A graffitist added "Ni".

Did Monty Python ever do a cow sketch?

Embarrassing death for sure when you die because of a flying cow.

Of COURSE! www DOT youtube DOT com/watch?v=JQ8jGqdE2iw

In the Holy Grail movie there is a scene where after several insults launched by the French with their outrageous accents(from their castle which is in the middle of England(!) the French commander orders;" Fetchez la vache". The next scene shows a cow,launched by a catapult and landing on King Arthur's men. According to our friends at wikipedia, the French phrase "Oh la vache" is the equivalent of "Holy Cow!"

Oh it's a sad time when people can say "Nee" on Goodreads.

They don't do tombstones in India, otherwise it would make for an interesting inscription.

Gosh, I can’t even think what that could possibly say!

well in India they're sacred, so Holy Cow!

Or "oh la vache".

"Devotee met fate as sacred cow disrupted final relief." How does that sound?

Sounds rightly devoted!

Monty Pythonish is the most accurate way to describe it.

I think you will blow up the internet and rocket to the top with that quote. I Musk compliment you.

LOL. It wasn't bad was it? I have to design some t-shirts and badges for a political campaign and would like to think of a way of incorporating it but can't!

I am ashamed to say I actually didn't believe you and googled it and now I am in shock.

LOL. It was a pretty unlikely story, man urinates on track, cow travelling through the air lands on him... but the goddess works in mysterious ways...

How about this for a campaign slogan:
Got a beef with your candidate? .Don't piss around. Get on track with our candidate. Don't wait for a good thing to fall out of the sky.

Very clever and funny. :-D

It probably makes the poor man a saint, being killed by a flying holy cow.

What would be the karma for someone killed by a flying holy cow?

Saint? Or cockroach for getting in the way?
