Apparently, cows sleep standing up (I'm not too sure about this. Please enlighten me.) and so, of course, they are standing, but unaware of what is going on. This makes it possible to creep up to one at night and push it over. This friend about whom I am relating the story has supposedly done this before, and according to him the comedy value really gets going when the cow wakes up, on the ground, and (understandably) gets a mite angry.

I am a might dubious of cow tipping. I have never seen a cow asleep on its feet. I've seen quite a number of cows standing up and quite a number of cows sleeping but never one doing both. In fact, cows tend to lie down when ever they are not required to stand up (ie when they are eating, going somewhere, or being milked). On top of this cows are quite heavy. It's not just so easy to even get one to wobble.
