I am asking for my research paper in English, I thought it would be 
interesting to write about "exploding cows".  I found a bunch of stuff on 
the web but i'm not sure if it's really true. So I wanted to know if cows 
really  exploded in warm weather cause of methane gas building up in their 
stomachs  Thanx :)
