690...Does Cow Tipping Exist?

May be yes, may be no.

What does exist is Smart Car tipping. You know, those little two seater cars that get a gazillion miles to the gallon, warm up in a minute in the winter, cool down in a minute in the summer, are perfect for the city and short trips. And tip.

Yesterday the Canadian Press rolled an article that a man in his 40s in Edmonton has been charged with tipping a Smart Car on its side on Whyte Avenue, a key bar street in Edmonton. The owner, Kevin Spaans, was understandably pissed by the whole debacle; even more so by bystanders posing with the flipped car while their mates snapped Polaroids.

Ken Lust, who sells the car through David Morris Fine Cars in Edmonton, was a victim of the prank himself three years ago and is on the record a being against it.

Still, if it doesn't happen to you, it is kind of funny.

340...Bull Meet Man, Man, Bull

Mikey I and Stephen Harper weren't the only ones fighting for their lives in Ottawa this week. Lee Carruthers, a 50 year old cowhand at the Ottawa Livestock Exchange in the southern end of the city, lost a battle Thursday with a one ton Holstein bull, a battle that nearly cost him his life and ended up resulting in broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Donna Casey reports in the Ottawa Sun online that Mr. Carruthers was walking through an alleyway at the facility when the bull decided that he didn't like Mr. C and took a run at him. Knocked to the ground, Mr. Carruthers slithered away, a ten minute slither with an angry bull in the house, not too nerve racking, and broke into another pen and then waited.

Mr. Carruthers is resting comfortably in hospital; the bull will be resting comfortably on a barbeque near you.

I thought Michael Ignatieff and Stephen Harper had the most exciting Thursday in Ottawa.

Wrong yet again.
