somehow i suspect the truth of this story involves diamond smuggling and using a cow to hide the evidence. . . .

To paraphrase When Harry Met Sally...

I'll have what the cow's having.

Well, I'm disapointed.
I was hoping it was going to be a religious hoax or something, instead of a cow eating a mislaid sack o' gems.

But that has got to be the first time "pooping" has made it into a headline there!

I was all set to make the obvious 'sacred cow' joke, but deicded against it for a variety of moral, ethical and political reasons.

Alright- and it just really wasn't going to be all that funny

If they were intelligent they would have surgicaly removed the diamonds from the cow. But this is India, a country where cows are worshipped as Gods.

No, sacred, not gods...think of them as walking temples.

Basicaly the same thing. The hard core hindu parties in India like the VJP and the RSS regularly campaign for a cow rights law. If they ever succed killing or hurting or abusing a cow will become a punitive offense.

Surgically remove hundreds of small diamonds from an animal with multiple stomachs, as well as an intestinal system designed to maximize nutrient consumption from a pretty crappy source. How much time would that take?!?

at least this way they can claim their crime as a holy miracle. though i'm not that familiar with buddhism in India. . . .why cows? i mean, seriously? why cows?

Hinduism, not Buddhism.

Something about cows being related to Gods. Monkeys are also worshipped in India since several of their Gods are monkeys

Gives milk, back in the day was good as muscle, Hindu deities taking the form of cows, and Shiva's animal companion is an ox.

That and Indian scriptures said they were a gift from the gods.

Yup, you missed out they provide leather after they die, just felt it necessary to add that little nugget of infomation.

Mix a bit of Janism in there about animals being your ancestors and viola!

Still silly news from abroad.

Sounds like an Onion headline.

India was established over either one really radioactive land site, or some sort of Bermuda triangle cum Twilight zone area.
