Fun Fact Friday - Acting the Goat

Marbits, bananas, dolphins, toilet paper, John D. Rockefeller, and face arsenic!

"Goodness! What a fine list!" I like to imagine you yelping. Thank you. It is a lovely list and any one of those would have probably made a perfectly adequate subject for today's fun fact. But I was being fickle and rather hard to sate, which I hear are desirable qualities in any potential mate. So good for me. And you. You might not be able to tell, dear reader, but I am using my seductive voice. And winking. For you.

But enough of these lists and my somewhat aggressive internet flirting! To the Fun Fact Mobile!

Fun fact: Goats have accents.

"Holy shit!" - Gulliver T. Goat

I'm sorry if I just blew your mind. I'll give you a minute to put it back together. Because I am going to blow it again. But first, here is another goat. To melt your heart while you reassemble your mind.

"I'm the cutest fucking thing you've ever seen." - All baby goats ever

Elephants and dolphins apparently also have accents! I mean, we all knew people could get accents. But animals?

Goat, goat, goat, goat, goat!

Apparently goat accents were discovered by researchers from Queen Mary University in London last year. I like to believe that this is not what they set out to study. Mostly because it is a weird thing to set out to study. But now that we know goats have accents, I really think it would be worthwhile to find out if goats think certain types of goaty accents are sexier than others.

A ranking of America's sexy accents. Human accents. Not goat accents. But it is still worth noting that it is wrong.

Also, I don't have a whole lot else to say about goats. But I want you to see this:

I like to imagine that if I were a goat, I would be that goat. Sure, I'm kind of a dick, but look at me doing flips and shit!
