The universe finally has meaning - jmkiii, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40I think you mean, "You're an idiot."
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36Stop pulling so hard.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30Blood in the milk?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+34the cow is on its period....
- Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Not in a boat or in moat, I will not eat them. I will not eat green milk and ham.
- gwjc, on 10/12/2007, -11/+35I bet Napoleon would have nailed it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27tastes like the cow got into an onion patch
- Recuso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17This story is udderly ridiculous.
- hello2usir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17This is how Nestle makes Strawberry Quik.
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Probably internal bleeding.
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14For those who weren't raised in a rural setting, all milk is tested prior to being loaded onto the truck and brought to the dairy. Cows with inflamed udders have high somatic cell counts, which are tested on the farm before the milk is accepted by the trucking company. It is then, of course, tested multiple times for a number of potential problems throughout the dairy prior to being packaged and sent to retail.
The more you know... - crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14If you're eating milk.. then I don't see why you would care about its color.
- Attrition, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15That's RGBA, actually.
They've gone and junked it up, to much opacity on the #FF0000.
See, this is why god should have commented his code. - jcaino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14feeding the cows carrots is certainly far better than feeding them chopped up dead cows...
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Most other mammals have lifespans under 10-20 years and lick their own crotches.
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@kimad:
Cows have one stomach that's separated into four sections: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen, for all intents and purposes, contains the bacteria that break down fibrous material into digestible nutrients. The reticulum pulls non-digestible foreign objects out of the mix, the omasum filters large food particles out and sends them back up to digestive tract, and the abomasum actually functions similarly to our stomach in terms of breaking material down and pulling out nutrients.
@negativefx: out here we call it "the tubes" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10That Nestle Quick rabbit really gets around.....
- Recuso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Why?
Beef + More Beef == Beefier beef!
Right?! - soulcutter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I always wondered about this statement since it's apparent that cats love milk. If cats like it, and humans like it, there must be some other animals out there that like it. Most animals just don't have the resources to GET milk past their infancy.
- diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That's called spin. "Ah crap, the milk's turned pink", I know, "Pink milk chock full 'o vitamins!!"
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6While some cats might like cows milk, their lactose intolerance usually makes them get diarrhea from it.
- illectronic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8They probably just gave a cloned cow too much rBGH.
- simpleid, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Ok, show me a chocolate cow, please. :) We're almost there... I don't even want to know what it takes to make a cow give chocolate milk. :p
- bclark303, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8FTA: The cows go mad for carrots.
Mad for carrots = Mad Cows
Mad Cows = Pink Milk
Easy diagnostic test for BSE. If Milk = Pink, Cow = Mad! - actorboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7rBGH is bovine growth hormone.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6New from Sony: Blu Milk
- sacherjj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Colors after going through the digestive tract change. For humans, green is a common color to get through. Eat a bunch of green, blue, or black food coloring and you will have green poop. This freaked me out after consuming a black cherry slushy from Burger King years ago. After searching on the 'net, I learned it was from the food coloring. But blue food coloring also makes green, not blue. So color_in != color_out.

We don't have access to the source code, just the compiled object code. - playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Glad to help! If you ever get a chance to wander out to the countryside, take a tour of a modern farm. I think most diggers would be pretty impressed at the level of technology that even a small family farm utilizes in production. Many modern farms have databases that contain a great deal of information on every animal, from the food that they eat, the milk they produce, the offspring they've given birth to, and illnesses they've had. Most farms are highly computerized, from robotic milking equipment that washes the udder, locates and latches onto the teats, tests for high somatic cell counts, cleans up afterward, and then sends the cows on their merry way, to computerized ventilation systems and automatic feeding systems that provide feed to an animal that helps balance milk production. Tractors have GPS systems that provide foot-by-foot maps of fields, along with crop yields, that allow for targeted fertilizer application. All in all, farming is a pretty tech-heavy industry now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It tastes like burning
- Tourniquet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That was my first thought also...
I wouldn't drink it! - stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's a happy cow, and happy cows come from California.
- AncientWeird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They have some on Tatooine.
- kazuhima, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3stay away from yellow milk..
- okokitsme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@ Simpleid,
http://www.milka.com/ - csimpkins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That is not.
A complete sentence. - sacherjj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Blue Milk... Go Colts!
(Princess Leia was a Colts fan.) - Tebixan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So does that mean scientists are hackers for religion?
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Thanks, ezweave, I'm not American so I'm not particularly versed in US ag subsidies, although what you've said certainly registered. I just thought that was a myth! The country I'm from restricts supply as a method of maintaining higher prices; either way, the consumer and taxpayer is the one footing the bill.
And good link, thanks for that. Price floors are just a recipe for over-production. Farmers are too fixated on production, and not enough on finding suitable markets. - SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Don't forget banana milk.
- ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's one!
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_go1468/is_200408/ai_n6536604 - ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@playerslight
Actually the price of milk is "high", the US Gov fixes the price to support farming (I'm not complaining, the free market isn't always right). The government even buys extra milk and gives it away (some of it just rots, some is the wonderful "ghetto cheese"). I think an econ textbook I had said it was something like 300 million gallons a year. Couldn't find concise links, though. - earlycj5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Interesting since Guernsey milk has high beta-carotene content without being fed carrots and appears to be golden rather than pale white like Holstein milk (assuming the cow pictured with the article really is one of the farmer's cows in question).
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Strawberry milk is not bad. Whats so disgusting about it?
- safetyseal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That was a Photoshop joke and a lot more funny then you correcting him.
Diggs for Attrition. - playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Using Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is quite counterproductive. It wears out the cows, makes it harder for them to give birth, and over-stresses their immune system. But even from a purely economic standpoint, milk prices are low because supplies are high. The solution to that problem is not to drastically increase supply. Unfortunately, since it was approved for sale, prices fell further and the farmers who didn't want to use it were forced to in order to maintain economic viability.
I don't know where the USDA or the FDA was when they allowed the sale of rBGH. Most other industrialized countries recognized that it was a bad idea... - playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll second that with my experience consuming an entire bag of black licorice.
- ScionX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ playerslight
