I got a new "page a day" calendar. Each page has a statement on it and you have to decide whether it's a Fact or Crap. THought it might be fun to share here and see what y'all think. So, here's the one for today, Friday, January 13th, 2006:

Cows are one of the main contributors to the hole in the ozone layer.

Fact or Crap? Discuss!


I'll post the answer sometime tomorrow, assuming anyone is interested. :-)`

I say that it is crap. Cows are known to fart a lot and emit methane gas. As far as I know, this gas affects the greenhouse effect though, and does not contribute to the hole in the ozone.

Well, a town north of here went up in an explosion of pig shit a few years back, which isn't that different from cow shit is it? I'm sure the smoke from that fire made its contribution to holes in the atmosphere. I say fact.

I remember my BIL telling me he had heard that cows were bad for the environment because of their "emissions" so I am going to go with FACT.

Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas. It comes from the burning of fossil fuels in cars, power plants, houses, and industry. Methane is released during the processing of fossil fuels, and also comes from natural sources like cows and rice paddies. Nitrous oxide comes from industrial sources and decaying plants.

Okay! Nice response to my late-night posting. Now I'll try to get it on a more "afternoon delight" kind of schedule. :-)

So, here's the results:

Fact 11
Crap 9


Kudos to:
Wink who noted that a cowchip IS crap.
Weinermr who admitted to simply enjoying saying "crap"
and. . .
Serenity who knew the true fact about this crap, which is. . .

It's CRAP! "Due to their methane emissions, cows are one of the main contributors to global warming, not ozone depletion (although it is possible that global warming may indirectly postpone ozone healing). In the United States alone, cattle release some 5.5 million metric tons of methane annually."

Now THAT's a load of crap if I ever heard one!!!

New Fact or Crap item for January 14, 2006:

Almost one-third of the world's lava output since 1500 has occurred in Iceland.

Fact? or Crap? Discuss!! :-)

Well the last one was crap so this one must be fact, I've heard they have a lot of Volcanos there, but they also aren't a very large country. But I'll stick with my instints that the answer is indeed fact.
