"cow that was tossed 30m up in the air"
How hard do you have to hit a cow to knock it 30m into the air?
With a high rate of mooovement.
He had no chance. It’s was coming the udder way.
Think we milked this for all its worth
Naw I still got some beef with this story
Don't have a cow.
Maybe we should steer this conversation away from the puns and back on track.
Edit: Extra pun
Fetchez la vache!
and a lot of moooomentum
No bull
First assume a spherical cow in a frictionless vacuum...
Trains have a fuck ton of momentum, and this was an express train. It likely also had a cattle guard on the front which could explain the air it got.
It's like it was hit by a train!
The average train in India is 24 coaches long, plus a loco and a guard van. Let's say the loco is 100 tonnes and the coaches and van are 20 tonnes each. That's 600 tonnes moving at around 100 km/hr. I can totally believe the cow flying that high.
