then your man’s Sane Jack O’Hooligan, the man hating goat murderer of Dingle Bay

Yesterday took me on a 93km bike ride, out to the hippy markets at St Andrews and back. Beautiful warm weather, and a fantastic day to be out riding. Found an alpaca farm, and a goat. And I had two lunches, hoorah.

But now it’s back to work at the laptop. In my spare time, if I’m not on my bike, or doing any of those necessary things like obtaining food, eating food, or cleaning things, then I’m working on my thesis. Type type type… type type. Doesn’t make for many exciting adventures. But once it’s over there will be many adventures. But that is at an as yet undefined time in the future. Maybe December? I can hope.

ten pin bowling potential

Fainting goats have developed the most stupid evolutionary trait imaginable. This is the sort of animal that creationists will point to to demonstrate that Darwinism is a load of cobblers.

“Oh, what’s that? A lion? I think I’ll have a lie down.”

The video under the link explains it all, but basically, due to a genetic condition (myotonia congenita) the goats legs stiffen when they’re suprised or over-excited. Often leading to them falling over. Apparently shepherds used to include them in herds with their sheep as wolf fodder. Now they’re being bred for novelty value. Poor goats.
