    Teresa: Asterix the Goat?

  • Anonymous

    Seven -horned goats??? Isn’t it a sign of the end of times? Prepare for the rapture, forget unlocking your iphone, you won’t make to the next AT&T bill!

  • Teresa Nielsen Hayden/Moderator

    That goat has got to be named Asterisk.

    #1, the “end of the world” person has no idea what their talking about… the goat has 6 horns not 7… and obviously a little disoriented.

    Asterisk: *

    Oh, damn. It’s a five-armed asterisk in this typeface.

    Seven horned goats are a sign of the “eh” of times, when people just don’t give a darn.

    Hmmm. Google Ads are offering Goat Ringtones and “Watch Goat Videos.”

    #3, what, no Google ad for “six-horned goatse.cx?”

    Expect the Rolling Stones to sue that “Goat Milk Soap” ad for copyright infringement.

    Not all that rare. There are also 4-horned sheep:

    Six-horned sheep aren’t uncommon. The Jacob sheep breed is raised in North America and the UK and is bred to have six horns.

    Thanks Jessica, I was just going to say the same thing. Not unusual at all. My friend raises them.

    Oh, and it’s a SHEEP, NOT a goat. yeesh. Maybe double-check the farm animal postings with a quick google search before posting. People are always confusing my Soay sheep with goats too.
