In my class it is about 20 people to 1 that cow-tipping is possible. I grew up on a farm so I know it can't be done. Most of them beleive that cows sleep standing up!(is impossible because their knees cannot lock). They also think they could sneak up on a cow if it wasn't sleeping; though I've told them that cows can see 360 degrees around themselves because of the position of their eyes. They just can't grasp the facts that a cow is like a brick wall, it would attack you or run away, and that no matter how many people you have it can't be done. Studies have shown it would take at least ten people (if a cow could auctually "tip," which it can't) to "tip" a cow. But that many people cannot fit along the side of a cow, only 3 or 4 can at the most. They use arguments like: "all you have to do is get it on two legs, then it'll tip." They can't seem to understand that this is impossible to do. In fact a cow's center of gravity is lower than a hummer's! Help me tell them that they are wrong.
Help me convince my classmates that cow-tipping is impossible.?
Guess you'll have to prove it to them. Are there any farms by where you live?
I always thought that cow-tipping was possible, but you have a very believable argument. I don't know why your classmates won't agree with you.
Reply:I absolutely agree with you - it cannot be done! I too grew up on a farm and have never seen anyone do this (I also can't imagine why anyone would want to do this!). Yes, I've heard a few people claim to do it, but they were probably so drunk, they imagined the whole thing. Anyway, I agree with your explanation, which should convince your classmates. Good Luck!

Reply:If your excellent and completely accurate arguments above aren't enough to convince them, nothing will.
I recommend setting them in a field with a bunch of cattle, and challenging them actually tip a cow.
Make sure there's at least one ornery bull in there with them.
That oughtta do it.
