Cow-tipping: Fact or Fiction?

A good almost-veterinarian friend of mine mentioned to me a few months back that cow-tipping is an urban legend, and physically impossible. Last night a couple of us were sitting around discussing this very phenomenon, when I brought up this counter-argument.

It turns out that a study conducted at the University of British Columbia did not go so far to say that it's impossible, but that it would take 5 people to push a cow over if it does not respond. That, and cows don't actually sleep on their feet, which is another part of the whole tipping formula.

Thanks, Lis, for doing the legwork on this one.
