Just found this little news item.

Council sewage workers found the cow wedged in a tight bend in the subterranean tunnel, and it was sedated before being dragged back to the surface using a winch and a crane.

But it was later put down due to injuries sustained in the rescue operation.
It's at times like this i wish we could add mp3's to the posts.

That is quite a mad escape for any animal. But a cow! It is hard to picture a cow jumping through a man hole and escaping along the sewer.

As for MP3s. No, I'm glad we can't!
