Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is cows. Did you know:

• Archaeological evidence indicates that Britons were milking cows at least 5,000 years ago.
• There are an estimated 920 different breeds of cows in the world
• It is possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs, because a cow's knees cannot bend properly in order to walk back down
• Cows can sleep standing up.
• Old cows in India have their own nursing homes
