This one panel comic is funny because it examines the existential questions faced by cows. Oftentimes, cows are afraid to identify themselves as what they really are, and being a cow is very shameful among cows. The two cows in this comic are conversing about mad cow disease in a way that strips any of their own vulnerabilities towards it away. One of the cows in this comic even believes herself to be a helicopter, which she is clearly not. You can tell that she is not a helicopter by the absence of any propellers, windows, or a solid chassis.

On a less funny note. Mad cow disease is caused by Prions. What's prions you say? Well fuck, they aren't much. Prions consist of a misfolded protein. This misfolded protein will cause surrounding correctly folded protein to convert to the misfolded ones. So imagine all these misfolded proteins in your brain multiplying, leaving behind big holes because of their low solubility. Prions can arise spontaneously in those with a genetic predisposition for the disease. Prions are also extremely hard to inactivate. Not even standard autoclave techniques will get rid of them.

On an even less funny note, my father-in-law died of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, which is the human variant of mad cow disease. Believe me, it is a cause of death that you would not wish upon your worst enemy.

After he died, the CDC quarantined his body, removed his brain and spinal cord, and took them away to their center in Atlanta.

[–]ThePlasmid 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm sorry to hear that. I would assume they used his remains for research. There is a lot still to learn about prions.

Maybe she is a helicowpter.

Perhaps she thinks she's a helicopter because she's mad. Mad in the sense of a cow being crazy. A mad cow if you will.

the second cow has mad cow disease

[–]THANE_OF_ANN_ARBOR 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's rather simple. Like I said, the second cow is grappling with an existential dilemma. The joke here is that the cow is not, in fact, a helicopter, and is just an anguished philosopher trying to come to terms with its actual nature.

Je ne veux pas être une vache, as a famous philosopher once said.

Reminds me of a joke:

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

I said, "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please".

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"

"Nah", I said, "she can order for herself."

And that is how, ladies and gentlemen, the fight started...

[–]LethargicMonkey 14 points15 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I never liked the addition of the last line. It seems rather obvious that a fight would start from such a statement, and it takes away from the punch line.

To edit or not to that is the question

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to edit

The upvotes and downvotes of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And by not editing, let it be.
