The elusive 'Ninja Cow'

It didn't happen overnight, but residents of Plattsmouth, Nebraska have finally outsmarted a deceptive, wayward bovine known as the "Ninja Cow."

"It sounded like hoofs on the pavement, and by the time I could focus on it, all I could see was the rear end of whatever it was," local computer programmer Kevin Moon told the Wall Street Journal.

Wayward livestock can pose serious threats to human and other animals. Even a small deer can destroy a car, seriously injuring the occupants in a collision. Still, for months, the Ninja Cow eluded police and locals, making late night appearances on private lawns, leaving behind only cowpies as evidence of its existence.

The effort to bring in, or even bring down, the Ninja Cow was not lacking. Police and local experts tried just about everything from luring the cow with biscuits and gravy to capturing her on an infrared camera. They played cow sounds on a laptop. But every attempt failed. Pretty much the only thing they didn't try was recreating the cow costume from Top Secret.

"I wouldn't say she was wild, but she was really smart," said Neil Johnson, who helped bring Ninja Cow in. "The first few days she was throwing herself at the fence. Now, she eats right out of my hand."

Maybe this will help form a new style of martial arts, Cow style Kung-Fu.

I don't want to think about what the move "chewing the cud" would entail.

Too funny! I have sent this to my son who is a TKD black belt and a former MMA champ.

I'm actually envisioning one of those old Kung-Fu theater movies with all the really bad lip synching. As in the cow would have the really bad lip synching. Then again, it could be that they could use a lot of really bad puns, like udderly awesome. I'm a bit of a punster, and came up with a group called the cowmmandos; in homage to the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and that would use lines like that.
