Cow crashes through roof, kills Brazilian farmer

Here's a story you don't see every day... and thank goodness for that.

Police in Caratinga, in southeastern Brazil, say a cow fell through the roof of a small house near the town, killing a man and narrowly missing his wife. Joao Maria de Souza and his wife were sleeping when the one-ton cow fell through the asbestos roof and onto their bed. Sadly, there wasn't enough room for all three of them, and Sr de Souza died at the local hospital, of internal bleeding.

The police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't allowed to liaise with the media, denied that the cow was trying to jump over the moon. Rather, he said, the cow apparently was grazing on a small hill above the Souza home.

Poor Len cannot think of any lesson to be learned from this tragic tale. And it's not funny!
