i don't remember the original version, but it should be similar to this.
krishnan : class, let me tell you a story.
One day, a very competitive cowherd was so worried about the low amount of milk produced by his cows, so he hired a scientist to have a look at the cattle and find a solution to increase the production. The scientist immediately started his work. He began taking samples, injecting this and that, back and forth to his laboratory, experiments.. and lalala..
Then.. after almost a year, the scientist came back with a solution to increase the milk production by 3%. Being a kiasu cowman, he obviously was unhappy with the result. He wanted more than just 3.
He then hired an atomic engineer to solve his problem. The engineer had access to some very powerful machines in the world, with sophisticated laboratories and the so many complicated laws of physics to assist him. As expected, he too came back with one solution for the cowman. However, it only took 3 months for the engineer to come up with a brilliant idea, which can increase the milk production by 7%.
Ahh, again the man was dissapointed. He wanted more than that, and started hiring a mathematician to help him. The next day, the mathematician came to the cowherd's office saying he has found a way to increase milk production by 30%. yes, 30%. The man was so surprised, but overwhelmingly happy at the same time. He grabbed the mathematician's report, and started to open it.
The first line reads..
"Consider a spherical cow, ..."
ps : mantalaris says "God is a chemical engineer!" (i'll tell the story some other time)
