I'd definitely advise against punching a cow in the face, they have been known to punch back.

I have given cows a smile or even a hug, and have never found myself in a situation where I felt threatened by one. However, I just thought I'd ask, for fun. They seem nice, to me.

They are nice, I'm kind of nice too, but not if you punch me in the face. Remember they are descendants of animals that evolved being preyed upon by all sorts of large canines and felines. If they feel threatened by you, an instinctual reaction may be imminent. I'll let you do the mass ratio computations.

Frankly, Tom, for some odd reason, I am getting the impression of a bit of hostility from you toward me on this subject of cows. Did you not read what I posted from the News about a driver being confronted by a cow that was out in traffic and that had chased the driver onto his own car roof as well as having chased a trooper who stopped to help in a traffic accident caused by the cow. So I'm not talking about my running around rural areas looking for trouble with the nearest bovines. I like cows. And I simply asked about a defensive gesture that might be used if a person ever encountered such situation as that driver. See?

OK. I'll keep my non-threatening distance the next time I meet a cow on a highway.

That would be wise; hitting a deer can potentially total a car and the occupants as well. A cow is substantially greater in mass.

Yes, I believe that is what brought that driver to a stop, causing him to disembark to inspect the damage, but the cow wasn't having it.

Somehow , not what I expected, nor could ever have imagined, though I'd pay good money to see somebody milk one of 'em.

Here you go, milking the dog:> https://youtu.be/1LrbQV7G1mM

I expect to see some "Good Money" in the mailbox any day now.

How much would you pay to see milking a cat?

Frankly Murph, I think you look for hostility and see it even when it's not there. Please don't start another fight with me so you can then retreat into the corner and complain about my bad behavior. I don't even get hostile with completely passive-aggressive folks, much less the only mildly so.

OMG. I was wrong and only watched about 7 seconds of it. But put it on my tab, Wayne.
Regarding cats, never mind.

OK, never mind cats, how about milking cockroaches?

The Pacific beetle cockroach (Diploptera punctata), which lives in Hawaii, is the only roach known to give birth to live young (also known as being viviparous). While the baby roaches are in the brood sac (a sort of uterus for the roach), the mother roach releases a liquid substance to feed the babies, similar to the milk that mammal mothers produce for their young.

Cockroach milk is a complete food—it has proteins, fats and sugars. If you look into the protein sequences, it has all the essential amino acids.

With at least three times the nutrition and caloric content as buffalo milk (previously the milk having the highest caloric content) and four times the nutritional value of cow’s milk, imagine the potential for including roach “milk” in energy drinks, protein supplements and Ice Cream!

Edifying as that cockroach information is, I confess I have only seen roaches three times, in my entire life, and that was in NYC. I have seen hissing ones and flying ones, both in the vicinity of The Dakota, at 72 St. and Central Park West, and had one crawl out of my pocket while standing in the sunlight one Sunday morning, down in The Village, after staying the night at the apt. of an acquaintance. I had been warned about roaches traveling that way, in pockets and pant cuffs, spreading from one residence to another, which was the first and only time I had an actual opportunity to witness it, and never accepted that hospitality again, not even for a brief visit.

I believe their prehistoric ancestors were at least a foot long.

Thanks, Wayne. It's always enjoyable when you join a conversation, that's for sure.

P.S. That "Answers in Genesis" link is quite interesting. I am glad to add it to the list I have been trying to compile of reliable sources for information, which is a search you inspired some time ago when I posted those photos of the Nephilim.

My search continues for resources I can trust enough to site and quote.

It’s probably getting more water to heat.

Melt-water from snow in the mountains ?

Also, there is some concern about what appears to be an increase in earthquake activity in the area.

Yellowstone is an active volcanic area. It has 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes each year. There are always a lot of earthquakes around active volcanos. The number per year varies. When the number increases, the press picks up on it. When the number decreases, everybody remains silent.

The earthquakes fracture rock, giving geysers new sources of water, earthquakes open up salt encrusted tubes, activating old inactive geysers. They also close down water paths, changing the period of geysers. Humans get all excited when such things happen like it has never happened before.

Hawaii, Hawaii has had 9 earthquakes in the last 24 hours and 2198 earthquakes in the last 365 days.

Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze River, China, has 3,000 earthquakes per year.

Lake Mead (behind Hoover Dam on the Arizona/Nevada border) has around 1000 earthquakes per year, most occurring in the summer as the lake fills with runoff from snowpack in the Rockies.

Los Angeles basin (Hello Roy!) had an earthquake at 7 AM this morning. Los Angeles has had 455 earthquakes in the past 365 days.

Most earthquakes mentioned above are too small to be noticed by humans but not too small to be reported by the press and then re-reported on the internet's wide highway to insanity.

The six-legged ones or the two-legged ones?

If you ever get invited to dinner by a New York Cockroach, I suggest you do your best to decline. No one ever leaves with their head.

I take you at your word, Tom. The interpretation was my error, then.
