Scientists Discover Cows Point North

Dr Sabine Begall and colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen have discovered that cows tend to point north. The researchers studied deer in the Czech Republic and looked at thousands of images of cattle on Google Earth. The animals tended to face north when eating or resting. "We conclude that the magnetic field is the only common and most likely factor responsible for the observed alignment," the scientists wrote in an article. I guess cows will become the must-have item for long-distance hikers now. Having an edible compass would come in handy if you get lost.

Oh get off your high horse. I'm criticizing the smug intellectual superiority of some geeks, who think that because they are smarter than some people in one particular field, they must be smarter than all people in all fields. But if you want to think I'm arguing that we must all take anything said by a person labeled 'scientist' as the word of God, go right ahead and miss the point.
