[QUOTE="The Cow Exploder, post: 2643345, member: 31653"] There are two theories of the origin of The Cow Exploder, of the two I know not which is true. The first goes thus: ******** One day while I was still living on the farm with my parents the farm animals, I was called upon to go out and sell our cows in town for money. An odd-looking man came up to me, offering beans that he said were magical. "No way!" I said. "I'm not that stupid!" and continued my way to town. I succeeded in selling only two of our three cows, but that was ok I thought because we would still need one for milk and other things. While I was buying a few other items in town I let the cow graze in the wide open fields bordering the stores which, unknown to me, was near a nuclear plant that was leaking radiation into the fields. Soon it was time to come home, which I proceeded to do. As I led the cow back I noticed something unusual about it but I couldn't tell exactly what it was. Funny, though the sun had set over an hour prior it still seemed bright. Anyways, it was a beautiful red sunset. That night I was tired and slept soundly. When the next morning came and I went out to feed and milk the cow there was a very odd look in the cow's eyes. Suddenly it came up to me and bit me, and in the very next second it exploded. When I finally regained consciousness, I looked around me and saw a terrible sight. The farm and everything on it was devastated. Crops were still burning from the explosion and the bodies of my parents sat smoking in the ashes. As I looked over the farm the house and the bodies, I wept. I was scared and I didn't know what to do. "Why them?" I thought. "Why not me? What spared my life? What did I do to deserve this?" Mad at myself and the world I felt I had to strike out at something to relieve my anger. I hit a part of dead tree that was torn off in the explosion. The result? I struck oil.
