What's a little pus going to hurt?

March 31st 2010 07:14
cow milking machine


By now everyone has heard that milk contains pus. If you haven't, well now you have. If your like me, when I hear things like this I always wonder just how that happens. I looked into it and here's how it gets in there.

First a short, simple biology lesson to set the stage. Just like humans, a cow must get pregnant to produce milk (You would be surprised how many people believe cows normally produce milk and must be milked for their health). The calf is taken away after birth and the cow is constantly hooked up to a milking machine and milked until she starts to dry up. Then the cycle is repeated: pregnancy, birth, milking, repeat.

Being hooked up to a machine so often causes infections and can lead to a painful inflammation called mastitis. Just as when we get an infection (picture a cut finger infected and oozing pus), the white blood cells in cows try to fight off the infection, leading to pus. But don't worry, no more than 750,000 cells per milliliter is allowed, and it's white, so you'll never notice it floating around in your glass of milk.

Oh, if your wondering what happens to all those calves that are taken away, most of them become veal. But that's a story for another day.

I'm back

December 7th 2009 04:37
i'm back


Well it looks like I will be taking over this blog......again. Originally it was written by someone else and it was all about different types of treasure hunting. Then I took it over and the treasure hunt adventure became all about what hidden treasure could be found on the internet. Then my life became too busy to keep up the blog so someone else took over. Now I finally have some time and having found this blog abandoned decided to once again take it over

Windfall

May 4th 2009 14:31

The term windfall is used to denote some special turn of events or luck. The word itself tells what “windfall” means – something blown down by wind, such as trees, or fruit blown from trees. But the word has taken on a special meaning. This meaning – getting something unearned – was first used in medieval England.
At that time, much of the land was in the hands of a few barons. The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates. They planted the seed , cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming. Every land baron kept a large private forest for hunting deer and wild boar

Online personal assistant

October 11th 2008 06:56
pageonce internet


Pageonce calls itself the First Personal Internet Assistant. It's looks like a great idea. You can view all your personal accounts and websites in one place - bank, credit, utility, even your netflix and social networking sites. It will show balances, bills that are due, cell phone usage, new messages and emails, frequent flyer miles. It sounds great but I'm a little paranoid about giving out so much information - bank accts, credit card numbers, passwords, etc
