Fainting Goats

An oldie(in terms of internet exposure) but still a goodie.

I've heard people bring up this breed when they try to justify creationism saying these goats prove Darwin is wrong. How could fainting goats survive natural selection?

The answer is easy: we selectivly bred this abnormality just like most livestock.

As strange as this may sound, these little goats have actually served an historical purpose. Shepherds often would keep the goats in with their flocks as insurance in case of predator attacks. The theory went something like this- as wolves would come down from the hills to attack a flock of sheep, the goats would become startled and, as per the name of their breed, they would faint. The sheep would make a clean getaway, as the wolves would focus on the stunned goats rather than pursue the fleeing sheep. Not that wonderful if you were one of the goats, sure, but dandy if you happened to be a sheep.

The breed's recorded history (or at least as much of it as I can find) reaches back to the 1880's, when a migrant worker named John Tinsley brought four of them to Tennessee. Not much is known about Tinsley, though he is reported to have come from Nova Scotia. The breed soon became popular throughout the region, thanks to three major factors: 1) they were less prone to climbing (and therefore escape), 2) they had a higher degree of muscularity than their non-fainting relatives (and thus would make a better dinner), and 3) high reproductive rates (typically two or more to a litter).

Anatomically correct "White Trash" dolls teach kids about sex, breastfeeding and puberty.

Damn these are scary.Just look at what they had to say on the website.

All sales are final. We can not resale a doll that has been played with or soiled.
I shudder at the reasoning behind this disclaimer.

These dolls are not made in an industrial factory setting; instead each Amamanta doll is assembled by hand and therefore unique.
So depending on the worker's mood that day, the daddy might get a super huge penis ... or not? Or maybe three nuts?

Really though outside of possibly counselors or for legal purposes, I think these dolls are just another crutch for parents who are afraid to just sit down and talk to thier kids about sex.





Good Lord! It's like watching Alien!
