Random Tidbits

Did you know that the average well-fed cow produces 115 pounds of manure a day? A DAY! That's a pile as big as me every single day. That's a lot of shit, to put it mildly...

Also, scientists are now suggesting that the contrails from airplanes may be contributing to global warming, because the cirrus clouds made from their ice crystals can trap infrared radiation. Of course, they can also deflect the sun's rays back to space, so I'm not sure I buy this one. But, the photo in National Geographic of the southeastern US covered in little white lines was pretty cool.
