Forget shark . This week , dread the disastrous bovine .
Over at BoingBoing , io9 pal Maggie Koerth - Baker is serving up a highly entertaining ( and highly insightful ) series of posts in honour of Cow Week . Here ’s what she has to say about that :
moo-cow Week is a glossa - in - cheek look at risk analysis and why we fear the things we fear . It is inspired by the Discovery Channel ’s Shark Week , the popularity of which is largely driven by the world ’s fascination with and reverence of sharks . Turns out , Bos taurus kill more mass every year than sharks do . Each mean solar day , I will post about a cow - touch last , and sum up to it some info about the bigger picture .
Maggie ’s first installment had to do witha killer moo-cow in Ireland . Yesterday ’s post was abouta relentlessly brutal bull . Today ’s plaza on a band of murderous Welsh oxen witha fierce hate of dog - walker . They ’re all first-class . Do yourself a solid and assure out boingboing for the intact ( ongoing ) serial .
