Transformer cow

Spotted by Pavlov's Cat at Katu.com:

MOUTH, Oregon - A farmer looking for a lost cow found a fully operational pre-World War II artillery shell backed with 15 pounds of TNT, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said...

The shell was fully operational with a high explosive tip attached. The shell measured over two feet in length and weighed approximately 113 pounds. The high explosive tip contained approximately 15 pounds of TNT.

No word yet on whether the farmer has found his cow.


Hardly surprising is it, seeing as the only rational explanation here is that the cow transformed itself into the live shell in the hope the farmer would stumble across it and blow himself up?

There are other rational explanations; the cows are simply arming themselves for the coming apocalypse, perhaps using mysteriously-funded contacts in the UK MoD to source the ordnance they need.

So successful is the strategy that they can even leave the odd artillery shell or two lying around.

I think it is sitting in its hollowed out volcano lair, cackling fiendishly and waiting for the 'BANG'

Maybe there's an anti-cow group at large?
