I am in fact, ahead of my time

If you peruse any of my previous posts, you will notice that they are filled with apocalyptic visions of evil goats implemeting their evil plans to take over the world and establish a new world order that looks suspiciously like the United Nations.

It appears that a radical contingent of anti-goatists have taken my apocalyptic visions to heart and have launched a pre-emptive strike against the goat population of the Galapagos Islands under the guise that they're "destroying the environment." I've got news for all these anti-goatists out there: Goats are protecting you! Evil heards of evil Goats aren't the problem, its the eviler hoards of eviler pelicans that are the problem! who do you think is going to protect you when their eviler hoard descends 21,000 strong from those tiny rocks in that river in Senegal. Hitchcock was right: birds are freaky.

“We’re at war, and we’ve won one of our biggest battles,” said Mr. Cruz, the hunting overseer. “But we can’t rest until we kill them all.”
(i'm not joking, he really said that. you can check)

And in other news from the animal kingdom today...apparently ducks have been taking a little too much of that enzyte stuff...they're becoming rather well endowed. i'm talking the length of their bodies well endowed. thats not even the craziest thing. the thing that got me was that somebody actually has to study this stuff! thats just weird.

a few choice quotes first:

“Obviously you can’t have something like that without some place to put it in. You need a garage to park the car.” - Dr. Patricia Brennan, duck scientist


"To test her hypothesis, Dr. Brennan plans to team up with a biomechanics expert to build a transparent model of a female duck. She wants to see exactly what a duck phallus does during mating."

Think about this one for a second. Malaria, AIDS, and cancer - three of the biggest killers of people on the planet have no actual cure, and we have people trying to figure out how ducks get it on?? Dude, people are weird...
