This is Just Weird: Fainting Goats

12th August 2005

My older brother sent me this link about Fainting Goats. I’m not sure how it relates to the Bible or religion (I know what you’re thinking: “How does most of what you blog on relate to Bible or religion!”), but it’s worth a look.

Hey… I know how it relates: Many ancient scrolls were written on goat skin — just think how easy it would be to sacrifice one of these critters! They would fall down as you approach them!
