I was watching a John Oliver episode some years ago and he was reporting on Methane.

He said it's actually a fact that cows burp more than they fart and more methane is released that way.

John then said, for the love of God, please don't let that be the only fact you take out of this important segment.

Alas....it was, for me.

As for me, got some friends coming for dinner next week so I'm now considering surprising them with Macaroni Penguin. 😱
