cowmpass?

Some science dudes have put out a quick report where they used Google Earth to check out pictures of cows, and have found that 2/3 of cows will align themselves pointing towards magnetic north... assuming no overriding conditions exist (ie, arctic wind, rabid wolf, etc).

I wonder how long it takes before Bear Grylls finds a way to work that factoid into a show. Although, I guess, there can't be really be that much Wild to versus if you're near cows in the first place.
