I had read that if you enter a cow field, yell, and lie down abruptly, the cows will all come over and stare at you in fascination, because their curiosity knows no bounds.

I attempted this experiment last night. I screamed for my friend to pull the car over at a pasture. I climbed out through the tall grass, and yelled "MOO" and flailed a little, and then I laid down in the grass whilst my friend wailed with laughter in the car. Only one cow looked up.

I may not have been close enough to the cows to receive a reaction, so I'm considering attempting the experiment again.

Now who sounds stupider here?
