Eco-friendly kangaroo farts could help global warming: scientists:
Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, researchers say.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence contains no methane and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who emit large quantities of the harmful gas.
And if we give cows jumping beans and jumping genes along kangaroo bacteria, perhaps they'll really start jumping over the moon....

Can we get a piece of that? I wouldn't mind seeing some genetically modified Beano...
