Okay, I'm sure everyone here remembers the old children's song where the old lady swallows all those crazy animals. In fact I remember a muppet sketch of it once where a guest sung it while Statler and Waldorf heckled her using some of the lines from the song. Now let's see if anyone can suggest plausible or implausible methods as to how the old woman could have swallowed the cow
She could have had the cow butchered, making it small enough to swallow. She still would have needed an extremely large stomach and appetite.

Her stomach expanded after eating all of those other animals. Either that, or she was a giant. Or it was a very small cow.

Mrs.Pepper is probably right regarding her stomach expanding just like air being forced into a balloon. And like a balloon it burst when the horse at the end expanded it too much. And I think she must have laced her throat with an extremely powerful lubricant to swallow the cow and all the other animals for that matter. :big_grin:
