Funny Stuff from 2013, Part III: Texas, Kenyans, and Fainting Goats
Missing their traditional grub, two Kenyan guys visit a Texas farm to buy a goat. But these goats aren't like the goats back home! --From National Geographic
So did NatGeo set this up as "an outsider's look at America"? I mean, taking them to the fainting goat farm was obviously a setup, but they at least come across as very intelligent, just confused by these weird Americans....
Infidel753, warm goat cheese salad is a winner for me.
okjimm, you are prescient! Wait and see.
BBIdaho, thanks for introducing me to that biology term:
"Evolution is a process whereby populations are altered over time and may split into separate branches, hybridize together, or terminate by extinction. The evolutionary branching process may be depicted as a phylogenetic tree, and the place of each of the various organisms on the tree is based on a hypothesis about the sequence in which evolutionary branching events occurred."
The fainting goats are a good example.
Nameless Cynic, I'm guessing this was a set up, but the ensuing result was very funny.
I'm with the Kenyans on this one. Stiffening up and keeling over at the slightest provocation can't be healthy.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's too much to hope for that they decided to give the salads a chance?
ok... waiting for part 4...

....hey, might be worth a post....just saying.
Interesting example of peculiar phylogenetics proving it's Darwinian value: Kenyans won't eat a fainting goat. Love it.
