For those of you in a similar boat to Nerwin (and myself)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow-tipping
[Edit] My mistake I mis-read it, i thought that was Nerwin not Irwin, I failed to notice the lack of the propeller hat/beanie ;) Partially I think it was a subconscious assumption that this was a mistake Nerwin not Irwin would make, so I re-wrote it as I read it ^_^
Just in case you want to make a fashion statement lol (the technological break through is really exciting)
Being a city boy who knew of cow-tipping only thru joke references such as this, I too went to Wikipedia (as well as Google) and was surprised to learn that cow-tipping seems to be an urban – er, make that rural – legend.
So the next question is, why is the myth so wide-spread? Does it come from country folk trying to put one over on us city-slickers?
(Yet another question is why it is so hard for some to get Irwin’s name right.)
Joy618, in the cartoon-parallel universe of Cars, “regular universe” restrictions (such as tractors not being able to right themselves, fires not being able to select amongst combustibles to consume*) are meaningless.
*From an old Woody Woodpecker episode, where Woody put plenty of gunpowder into the backpocket of his enemy Buzz Buzzard and then lit the trail Buzz made (on the deck of a wooden ship); the flame selectively followed the trail and blew up Buzz.
Just a quick pop in Gotta go to MD app. this has made the day for me Think they maybe something on this link, To show Female cows the farmers cover their small horns.
I gotta go!

Irwin is indeed quite innocent here–he didn’t know the only thing cows would do with the “tip” is eat it!

pschearer-yes, as well as snipe hunting. Also, Nerwin is Irwin’s nephew, if I’m not mistaken.
