Moose farts harming the environment
 
What to do about the Scandanavian Moose?

Quote:

Norway is concerned that its national animal, the moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching and farting.

Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway's technical university, said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year.

Develop a hybrid grass derived from Beano

A moose once bit my sister...

scaeagles 08-21-2007 08:36 PM

I had a friend from Alaska who had a moose come into his house. Stopped in a hallway, too afraid to go forward. It would kick anyone who came behind it. They had to knock out a couple of walls so it would go out of the house.

Damned moose are a threat to society I tell you!

Nonsense, all you need is a flying squirel to be his companion and you've got a hit show on your hands

Capt Jack 08-21-2007 08:48 PM

I need to come up with some ridiculous idea so I can get a couple million $ in gov money to study it.

now entertaining ideas

Im thinking something along the lines of a lack of sunlight actually contributing to decreased visibility at night

scaeagles 08-21-2007 08:53 PM

I would like to study the adverse effects of dihydrogen oxide, a chemical so deadly it can kill someone in a matter of seconds, and is particular dangerous to children.

I'd better stop. NA will kick my virtual ass.:D

I owes ya mojo, Pru.


Edited to ask: Do llamas harm the environment? Just curious.

Stan4dSteph 08-21-2007 09:15 PM

Yawn.

Shouldn't this be in Parking Lot? Daily Grind?

They should hook the moose asses up to these.

Gemini Cricket 08-21-2007 09:22 PM

Moose Fart. Isn't that a town in Minnesota?

Maybe you're confusing it with the drink.

Moose Farts aren't quite gross enough for the Parking Lot, and so far as I can tell the moose* haven't come out for either the Republican or Democratic parties, so no Grinding necessary.......yet. NA might move it to the PL if she catches the references Pru and I made, though.

:evil:


*(I'm sure if they did declare it would be for the Dems, of course.);)

RStar 08-21-2007 10:58 PM

I saw moose but in the window once (as mentioned in another thread).

I need to stop by the ParkingLot more.....

I thought Moose was the Independant Party Mascot anyway.

scaeagles 08-22-2007 05:05 AM

No, I think they'd be republicans. The dems would try to tax them for every fart because of the harm they were causing.

A great idea - a fart tax! No one likes farts, so why not tax each one to try to limit them?

Bull Moose party.

Cadaverous Pallor 08-22-2007 09:10 AM

Whenever they talk about cow emissions (or moose emissions) I wonder about human emissions. If people are harming the environment just by having natural body functions, then I give up.

I can understand some concern over cows because we farm them to unnaturally high numbers. But wild moose in Scandanavia? Come on, people.

Kevy Baby 08-22-2007 09:18 AM

Is the problem just with the Moose Lodge? How about the Elks Lodge? Are the Masons gaseous?

Dihydrogen Monoxide is also the key ingredient in acid rain! Read more about it here.

Wouldn't the plural of moose be meese?

AllyOops! 08-22-2007 09:26 AM

Ick, any fart harms the enviroment as far as I'm concerned. Maybe just my enviroment. Of course, I'll go "ick!" when a guy lets loose around me, but then I always giggle uncontrollably like a 5th grade boy & secretely hope a contest will erupt as a result. Much like the gas that inspired it. I'm a sad excuse for a girl most of the time- don't let the sparkly pink confuse you. ;)

Wow! A moose in the house? I haven't heard of that one! But I have been reading alot lately about black bears breaking into homes this summer. They just cruise on in & steal lots of food. They actually open your fridge and help themselves, as well as breaking every cabinet and drawer. One family came home to find a cub sitting in their hallway playing with a beachball. He and his mom had apparently moved into the home for a week while the family was away. And while they cause scary destruction, why is it I look at the photos and smile & go "Look at the little guy drink Pepsi just like humans! Aww! He thinks he's people!"?


Gemini Cricket 08-22-2007 10:01 AM

Are there really that many moose out there to cause this sort of thing?
Wow! :)

cirquelover 08-22-2007 10:39 AM

Maybe we should be worrying about the moose to the north of us in Canada, eh?!

LaBatts would make me gassy :eek:

My thoughts exactly. One cow gasous eruption is equivalent to ten humans' on thier worst days, most likely. Mainly because grassy goods are harder to digest. I'm sure there are many more beef anus than moose butts in the world. But let's not even talk about elephants! Wowa! :eek:

And up in da Nort' Woods, we're talking industrial-sized ruminants ...


alphabassettgrrl 08-23-2007 09:01 AM

I recognize those statues!

I think the other problem with cows in the modern world (besides their unnatural numbers) is the fact that we feed them corn, something they are just not built to digest. It throws off their tummies. I wonder if eating grass (which they have the capacity to digest properly) produces less gas.

I know corn is real hard to digest. I've seen people fish with it, and my grandad said never to do that because if the fish bite, and get away, they will die because they can't digest or pass it. Also, I read that a large portion of the solids in the bottom of sewer pipes is corn. Corn that has gone through human intestins intact! :eek:

Next up, "CORN- nutrition, or decoration"......

alphabassettgrrl 08-23-2007 09:24 AM

I didn't know corn would kill fish. Huh.

I believe it about the sewer pipes though. Humans can't digest the cellulose in corn. Not much else can, either, apparently. Grind it up, and we can do it, but whole? Not so much.

Prudence 08-23-2007 12:04 PM

Ever find yourself in the bathroom wondering: "When did I eat corn? I don't remember eating corn..."





Because, that never happens to me. Ever.

No, but I'll burp and think "strange, I don't recall eating that!"

Hey, where IS SzczerbiacManiac anyway?

Gemini Cricket 08-23-2007 01:50 PM

Sometimes I look into the toilet after I'm done and think, "Wow. Look at all that. I'm proud of myself."

:D

Ghoulish Delight 08-23-2007 01:52 PM

Have you ever taken a photo of it and titled it "Magic Poopie"?

Of course not.

Oh, wait. Dangit!

I shouldn't eat corn ever again.

Never done that. But if any of it is sticking out from the water, I call it a Loch Ness Poopie.

I sometimes look and wonder how THAT thing just came out of THAT orifice.

ozron 08-23-2007 05:55 PM

My most common thought is, "Wow! No wonder i was so uncomfortable!"

Kevy Baby 08-23-2007 07:21 PM

I honestly think this is the most interesting thread we've every had.

You are also on record for being inordinately proud of your farts.

CoasterMatt 08-23-2007 08:38 PM

If you do take a photo, just send it to ratemypoo.com (NSFW)

When I read this statement, I thought of GC, and that ten might not be the correct number in his case. :blush:

Prudence 08-23-2007 11:16 PM

This conversation has turned to sh!t.

Kevy Baby 08-24-2007 09:56 AM

Yeah, it is kinda crappy

RStar 08-25-2007 12:36 AM

I think this may be the appropriate time to post this for those that have not seen it:

The Farting Preacher II

Talk about air pollution!

However, Tilton seems to be able to get most of these off the internet due to "copyright infringement". I guess he wants to keep all his farts to himself.....
