h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This is my own article about Cow Tipping, something that stuck out in my mind from the news a few years back. I read all the news clippings I could get my hands on. I thought that Cow Tipping was such a bizzare and funny activity that others should hear about it and I that knew enough to write an article to spread the word. (It is not widely known, but shows just what kind of stupid stuff people do when they're bored...) Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Nice.

I think this is what the Guide needs.

There's only a couple of things:
-It'd read better I think if cow tipping 'reached' a peak in poplarity
-Popularity.

Maybe it'd read better if you changed the start of the second paragraph to a 'surge' instead of a 'wave'. Maybe. It's up to you.

Perhaps you could put in a few actual quotes from confused farmers and example headlines, which must have been funny and along the lines of, "Teenage boy group rock cows".

Keep me posted.

Good idea for an entry!

I agree with Haze, though. It might benefit with a litte more substance from newpaper headlines or somesuch (if you can find them). Maybe you should mention the danger to cows? I'm sure I heard that if they're left on their side too long that their stomach acids etc. react and they can die... probably just a ficticious rumour but it might be worth putting it right.

Well, I'm off to give some cows a few pounds for their hard work and contributions to society.

well, I updated the entry a bit...however, I couln't find any of the old articles to stick in quotes...sorry... it has some new info I've found, though!

let me know what you think now! Thanks!

Certainly is better. How about some links to particularly entertaining websites for lazy researchers such as myself? Maybe you could get some quotes from them.

Yeah. It kind of points to something at the moment without specifying how to get there.
