>>>>>According to Reuters, the dazed crew of a Japanese trawler was plucked
out of the Sea of Japan earlier this year clinging to the wreckage of their
sunken ship. Their rescue was followed by immediate imprisonment once
authorities questioned the sailors on their ship's loss. To a man they
claimed that a cow, falling out of a clear blue sky, had struck the trawler
amidships, shattering its hull and sinking the vessel within minutes.<<<<<
This is a hoary old urban legend that's been floating round the internet
for years. For this and may other bogus tales, check out:
