Who would have guessed

From "The Next Reporter"
Scientists are coming up with ‘green’ animals now. How? By making them burp less!

By experimenting on 200 heads of sheeps, scientists found out that the more the animals eat, the more they give off gas by burping.


Wow, who would have ever thought of that? (ok maybe a lib would have trouble with it)

The ultimate goal is to breed sheep that produce less methane, which contributes more to global warming than carbon dioxide does.
The logic is that the amount of gas burped out by these animals is far higher than flatulence.

Well soon we will not be able to drink coke or beer since it does seem to make us belch more, or maybe we can buy carbon credits when we buy 6 packs?
