I know, Our Father Who art in Heaven is the start of the model prayer in the Holy Book, but Our Goat!? Yeah, we love animals here are Greenpacks. But a goat? The most beautiful goat? Come on! I know when a guy IS a goat, but do people really stand around, cast ballots, do their darnedest to raise goats in hopes of garnering the “Most Beautiful Goat” in the world title?

Answer: they do.

There was a competition in Riyadh called the Mazayen al-Maaz for the most beautiful goat. And, indeed, there was a winner. I wonder if these folks couldn’t spend their gobs of money in a better way, considering all the animals in the world that are suffering at the hands of mankind.

Got to admit, however, the fellow is a handsome dude, no?

Dang it! These animal Olympic events weren’t on my TV sked and I am afraid I missed them. How come all the good stuff gets by me? Okay, how come most everything gets by me?

There is the Bear High Bar Gymnastic Event.

What do you think about using animals for entertainment purposes? Maybe the animals could get a kick out of watching us perform.

Question - What did the one alligator say to the other after eating a missionary?

Answer - I love these people. They are soft on the outside and crunchy on the inside.

We say, or at least some people say, that two heads are better than one. The Japanese say “sannin yoreba monchuu no chie” which roughly translates to three heads being better than one.

But, not always.

In China’s Hunan province a gecko has been found with a head on each of its body. The little fellow was found wandering to and fro, back and forth, going here and there, trying to make up his minds in an antique shop. He’s slow, but can go both directions.

“Where you want to go?”

“I don’t know. Where you want to go?”

Meanwhile -

In Japan, not wanting to be outdone by China, a two headed turtle was found in Moriyama. The little boy who found him named the amphibian ‘Takara’ meaning treasure. The cause? Researchers say it was NOT pollution but rather some sort of natural phenomenon. Takara is alive!two-headed-turtle.jpg

Yeah, right!
