I think I saw some cows once--oh then that bad guy in Zero killed all the 
Kent cows with soem toxic waste from Luthor corp.  A whole field of dead 
cows.  Maybe they weren't rplaced.  Jonathan had Lex mucking out stalls in

the barn where we've never seen an animal. I personally would like to see 
some chickens running around and when Clark goes supersonic the chicken 
feathers would fly.  :-)

Or Clark zooming around collecting his toasted body parts in a basket and 
taking them to Lex asking for help while Lana looks on and asks "Do you 
think he'll be OK?"  Lex calls in the best medical help and Clark asks
Lana 
to use her witch powers on Jason.  Instead Lana just breaks up with him
for 
being secretive.  Clark rushes the remains to the Fortress and asks Jor-el

for advice.  Jor-el thanks him for the bucket of crispy KFC.
