Hence the "Dyson Tyson" concept.  I thought that was pretty funny.

Took me a second to get it, though, since I have a Eureka vacuum.  I love jokes that I don't get right away.  

So you are saying it was a "Eureka!" moment when you got it?

I assume you are needing to slaughter cows for realz.

In that case, between .22lr and 9x19mm, and assuming a headshot, I'd go with 9x19 hardball.  Study cow brain location to make sure the shot will be able to do it's job and press the muzzle against the skin when you fire (that way the gasses from the shot go into the wound channel and do additional damage). 

If you'd prefer a rimfire get a .22magnum.  Even with solids a .22lr won't reliably penetrate even a pig's skull enough to effectively stun the animal. 

Whatever the case, stick the animal immediately after shooting to ensure that it dies before any possibility of regaining consciousness if the bullet failed to disrupt enough brain tissue to kill the animal outright.

Don't forget to collect the blood for blood sausage.

This.

Humane blood sausage is *expletive deleted*ing delicious.  I bet the horrible awful abused stuff is even  better, with the secret ingredient being hippy angst and tears.

No, just a terminal ballistics question, wrapped up in silliness.

Now, let's say you're shooting a human, COM, wearing a T-shirt. Not a spherical human; just a regular one.

Depends if you're going to harvest the blood for sausage.

What's funny for me is that when I saw "dyson tyson", I thought he was talking about a Dyson Sphere since it was a spherical chicken. Didn't get the vacuum joke until 230RN posted the Eureka comment.

(Which, of course, means the "dyson" part can be a joke both for the spherical chicken and the vacuum.)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

A Dyson Sphere made of chicken would be awesome. Would it be cooked on the inside due to the captured solar radiation and frozen on the outside due to the cold of space?  And would there be a band of perfectly-cooked chicken somewhere in the middle?

So "COM" is actually Center Of Miss?  Although it actually would be the center of the toroidal cow's mass.

So what would be a center cut of meat in the toroidal cow?
