Burning Goat

[Ravening_Wolf]

I love this story on the BBC website. We have the goat cam running 24/7 in the hope of catching this years ignition!

:twisted:

Where do we find the 'goat cam' then?

[Ravening_Wolf]

My apologies, it would appear that the BBC's link is now broken. Try here.

 

You can see it's beard better by day though

Ok, now I'm not going to get any work done watching this!

[Ravening_Wolf]

Looks like the Swedes are starting to panic - a second cam has been added over the weekend! (You get a nice view of it's flaxen ar$e from this angle ROFL).

[Ravening_Wolf]

Heads up! It's back again

Sheep for the win!!!

Ahh, the yearly festivity of a straw goat being the subject of arson in a small village in sweden. Why it reminds me of.....

 

Seriously though, I'm thinking of having a sweepstakes on how long it'll last!

Apparently some UK bookies will take bets on the goat's survival

[TechMonkey]

Did it survive last year? I remember them saying they were going to use a special coating that shoudl stop arson but heard no more after.

[Joanne]

could the lights be setting it on fire? and people were just imagining arsonists?

[ChrisC]

from their history page:

 

In 2006 the goat survived a pyromaniac attack on December 15th. It was minor burned on its right leg. After that the goat survived in one piece.

Interesting choice of wording:

 

In 1967 the goat was left unmolested.

 

In 1968 the goat was again left unmolested.

 

In 1969 the goat was burned on New Year's Eve.

I thought that. It just sounds wrong. Very wrong.

And yet again the goat burns!!!!
