Reminds me of "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" --- "They turned Pete into a horny-toad!"

Post by: SarahG on February 09, 2009, 07:10:36 PM: This didn't seem so strange to me. It's quite a common belief in central Africa that people can change into animals, and vice versa, through sorcery. We in the West may laugh, but many people in Africa take witchcraft very seriously. Having lived there and heard some of their stories, I'm inclined to reserve judgement.

well, if their legal system is anything like ours, armed robbery will probably get him 5-10. Probably get a reduced sentence if he cooperates and rats out (goats out?) his accomplices.

Post by: darxbane on February 10, 2009, 07:00:13 PM: Obviously, or they would never have arrested the goat in the first place. Seems like a great way to get away with a crime. Blame the goat!

This is basically a "get out jail free card" (http://www.funfolly.com/g/mascots/u/cu27692d.jpg) it would seem. :P

Super villany. Get yourself some tights, a cape, and some sort of gimmick. An annoying do-gooder will come along shortly to make you complete. :P
