Flying Cows

When I started researching my latest about.com article, I figured that most of the alleged cases of people hit by flying cows were probably urban legends. But now I've concluded that, although there is one famous flying-cow urban legend (involving a Japanese fishing boat being sunk by a cow falling out of the sky), people actually do get hit by flying cows pretty regularly.

Well if Dorothy says she saw a flying cow I believe her! Great article Alex. Truth really is stranger than fiction quite often.
