Can OREGANO help solve climate change: Feeding herb to cows can reduce greenhouse gases in their farts and burps
- Methane produced from cows is 21 times more harmful than CO2
- Scientists are testing oregano to see if it will lessen the gas they release
- Oregano contains essential oils that are suppress production of gas
- It is hoped using the herb will cut emissions from cows by 25 per cent

Well, how about that?!?! Learn something new every day around this place.
I am not opposed to oregano in any way. If people wish to adopt an oregano-dependent lifestyle, that is fine with me. I have, on occasion, in limited amounts, consumed oregano for recreational purposes. I believe any statutes of limitation have expired. Normally, a large pizza is involved. Sometimes a medium pizza.
Perhaps I should begin stocking a significant supply as this might make my wife a bit happier about cohabitating with me.
You want gas...........
Neighbor came by yesterday and needed some files printed and I obliged and he rewarded me with chili relleno pepper turkey stew that was truly delicious.
I just about blew the seat of my pants out today........:-O
Better stock up on oregano, Mr. Harris.
Excuse the informality, but just now as I addressed you as Mr. Harris, I thought back to a situation that arose this past Sunday. I had attended the high school graduation of one of my frequent survey helpers. A few hours later his parents were hosting a feast at their place for about 60 friends and family. The graduate's mother's cousin's wife was there. She is a guidance counselor for the school district where I serve on the school board. Despite this being a very informal setting that had absolutely nothing to do with our own school she repeatedly referred to me as "Mr. Cow" instead of using my first name (you know, Holy). It seems to be a habit that most school employees apply to administrators and board members. Anyway, I felt obliged to let her off the hook. So, in front of about a dozen people at her table, I explained that it was not necessary to call me Mr. Cow and that "Your Excellency" would do just fine instead.
"Your Excellency", "Your Excellency" !!!!!!
What's the matter with you? It's SUPPOSED to be "Your Divine Excellency". Cripes buy you books and all you do is eat the covers. 😉
@HolyCow
On a good day I am satisfied that people actually call me by name with our without the Mr
Most of the time it is "hey surveyor" or simply "hey"............;-)
So if oregano were to cause gas would folks think you were smoking pot?
I like a healthy intake of oregano along with garlic and basil, usually in a tomato-type suspension over some carbohydrate-filled noodly things.
As for informality, when I was in high school, I was almost kicked out of a presentation because I was clowning around in the back of the class. Well, that's wasn't as much of the problem, but when the guidance counselor (who was leading the presentation) looked at me and addressed me as "Mr. {name redacted}", I said, "My dad isn't here!" And that got me in trouble.
