This is not a joke, but it is funny. It's also practical. AijTT%

Argentina's National Institute for Agricultural Technology (INTA) has invented a way to convert cow flatulence into usable energy, and it involves putting a plastic backpack on a cow. ^G&D4uZ

The reason this is not a joke is because it is actually happening, but also because cows are responsible for a remarkable amount of global methane emissions, which are a major cause of global warming. It's a real problem. f\|?_k]

Just fart-powered farms, then. Excuse me？ LG{inhbp
