690...Does Cow Tipping Exist?

May be yes, may be no.

What does exist is Smart Car tipping. You know, those little two seater cars that get a gazillion miles to the gallon, warm up in a minute in the winter, cool down in a minute in the summer, are perfect for the city and short trips. And tip.

Yesterday the Canadian Press rolled an article that a man in his 40s in Edmonton has been charged with tipping a Smart Car on its side on Whyte Avenue, a key bar street in Edmonton. The owner, Kevin Spaans, was understandably pissed by the whole debacle; even more so by bystanders posing with the flipped car while their mates snapped Polaroids.

Ken Lust, who sells the car through David Morris Fine Cars in Edmonton, was a victim of the prank himself three years ago and is on the record a being against it.

Still, if it doesn't happen to you, it is kind of funny.

  1. Cow tipping is a myth. Cows sleep laying down. Anyone who has ever told you that they have cow tipped is a liar.

  2. A typical slaughter size for a steer is about half a ton, or 2.5 times heavier than your average refrigerator. What's more, they have a much broader base than your typical refrigerator. Good luck knocking that over.
