SPOKANE, Washington (Reuters) - A cow plunged from a 200-foot (61-metre) cliff onto the hood of a minivan on a highway in central Washington state, according to police.

The car's occupants, Charles and Linda Everson, were not hurt in Sunday's accident, but the cow was allowed to leave on the condition it promise not to jump onto anymore minivans.
"If the cow had fallen a split second later, the animal would have landed right in their laps," said Jeff Middleton, criminal deputy of the Chelan County Sheriff's Department.
Middleton estimated the animal weighed 600 lbs (272 kilograms), or the average size of a mature cow. It had been missing for two days and wandered 5 miles from home near the popular Lake Chelan tourist area.
When asked for comment, the cow said, "MOOOOOOOOO!!"
Did this cow fall or was it pushed off the cliff? I'm going to have to interview Mr. and Mrs. Everson to see if they have had any previous contact with this cow.
Sometimes the only sane answer to an insane world is insanity.
