But besides his mounting financial troubles, Mr. Goltstein also must contend with bubbles the size of small houses that have sprouted from the pool of manure at his Union Go Dairy Farm. Some are 20 feet tall, inflated with the gas released by 21 million gallons of decomposing cow manure.

Last year, a hog farmer in Hayfield, Minn., was launched 40 feet into the air in an explosion caused by methane gas from a manure pit on his farm. He sustained burns and singed hair.

Mr. Goltstein's attorney, Glenn D. Bowman, acknowledged that the potential existed for an explosion: "We're aware of that sort of common physics issue," he said.

This month, Mr. Goltstein asked state regulators to let him pop the bubbles. He said he and his 19-year-old son would slice them open with a knife from a paddleboat.

"If that thing back there blows, God help us all for miles," said Allen Hutchison, whose corn and soybean farm is next door. He and other neighbors worry that puncturing the bubbles could cause an explosion of manure and toxic gases.

Not to worry, said Mr. Goltstein as he stood at the edge of the manure pit, puffing on a cigarette and gazing at the bubbles glistening in the sun. "I have no fear popping them."

this is terrifying

Archery would be more fun, especially with flaming arrows!

none of this would be "fun"

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 18:13 (fifteen years ago)

"You know what would be really fun? Popping house-sized bubbles made out of cow shit and farts that could possibly explode!"

Top Poop

With the right bow, you could fire from many hundreds of yards away and watch the fireball loft into the sky, the sight of which might just make the smell of the methane worthwhile.

clearly my first thought when confronted with this situation would be "hey, why don't I put my son in a paddleboat with me and we can go cut these open with a pocket knife, what's the big deal"
