Possums, Rabbits, Snakes, and...Goats?

Many are misconcepted when it comes to "Suicidal" animals. On average, you think a possum is the only animal that pretends to be dead and actually makes a good attempt (my notion only). Although many others are in the "Suicidal" range of run-of-the-mills. Again, the "Suicidal" part is my notion only. Where did I get the suicidal? To answer my own inquiry, they just, play suicide! They pretend to be dead without anything touching them, maybe they died from the inside...Tumor!

Now that I wasted a whole paragraph on the introduction, lets get down to the good part. Suicidal goats. Yes, goats. Myotonic goats, indigenous to North America (for those of you who would like to know I get my vocabulary from eating brain food, otherwise known as the wires in my super computer...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... sorry). Yeah, these goats have a genetic condition that makes their muscles lock up when they are startled. They remain consciousness when "Dead".Hm...I wonder, if we eat one for dindin, would we get tetanus... Quite interesting considering people bring their CHILDREN to watch these goats play dead.

Wouldn't that be jolly!

"Hey kids! Lets go to the petting zoo!" Says the enthusiastic father.
"Yay!!" cry the toddlers. The whole happy family climbs in the four row SUV. They finally make it to the petting zoo.
"Oh daddy look at the goat! Lets pet it!" Yell the kids.
"OK, lets head over!" Says the now over enthusiastic father...

Now stop the story, there are two options. Pick your path.
1. Kids pet goats and feed them and get slobber all over their clothes
2. Kids pet goats and scream and then scream again in fear as it plays dead

Since I can't think of a conclusion I'm going to go eat more super computer wires and observe my stomach growl...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I appologize again...
