FARMER AND 16 COWS DIE OF MANURE FUMES

A coroner revealed that a Wisconsin farmer and more than a dozen cows died when they became overcome by fumes from a huge manure holding tank. Michael Biadasz, 29, was found by other farmers early Monday when they arrived at Biadasz Farms near Amherst, Wisconsin, to haul away manure from the football field-sized tanker. Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman said that Biadasz and at least 16 cows were probably overcome by methane or sulfur dioxide. It is believed the farmer agitated the tank and that this, along with warm upper air temperatures, created a dome of deadly air. Bob Biadasz, the farm’s co-owner, said the unusual weather conditions created a “perfect storm.”
* Wouldn’t a perfect storm be one that didn’t kill anybody?
* I think we’ve all experienced a dome of deadly air at one time or another.
* It’s sad, but at least the guy didn’t stop to light a cigarette.
* They’d be picking up cow manure as far away as Detroit.
* As far as the cows are concerned, they have no one to blame but themselves.
* As tragic as this is, I would definitely buy my dairy products from Biadasz (Badass) Farms.
* “I’m gonna put some of this Biadasz butter on my roll.”
* This could be the precursor to a new medical phenomenon: the lethal fart.
* A football-field-sized tanker of cow manure? Now, that really reminds me of this election.
* That could apply to so many things: How about our policy in Syria?
* One thing’s for sure: The pastor who gives this sermon will really earn his keep.
* “Michael died so that we could all eat cheeseburgers. That means, in a way, he’s actually a hero.”
