Jan 27 2009WTF?: 'Magic Goat' Arrested For Robbery
That's right folks, the authorities in Nigeria have arrested a magic goat (which may or may not be a tree goat) suspected of theft and are waiting for the crafty bastard to return to its human form.
Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.
"The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat""We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat," he said.
Now I want a magic goat. I'd go on tour with Willy Wonk-eye and become the world's greatest magician -- and lover. Sorry ladies, that's goat lover.
Goat detained over armed robbery [yahoonews]
Thanks to Deathbat, marty and ray, who all managed to escape detection in the women's locker room by turning into towels. Lucky bastards! Except for you ray, that chick was ugly.

It was the curse of the GTO that turned him into a goat.

I must be getting old because I thought for sure that you had already posted this story days ago, and now I can't find it! I even remember witty comments about the fact that nobody would steal a 323. Oh well, must have been some other smart ass website!

A robber that escapes by turning into an animal deserves a handjob from someone. Thumperchica?

"The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat"
This paragraph says it all. It wasn't a "group of vigilante men" pursuing the hoodlums. It was a group of homosexual goat rapists. And they weren't hoodlums. They were a herd of goats. I wont deny they were trying to steal a car, but they were really running in fear of getting sodomized, not arrested. One stayed behind while the others escaped, the brave soul. The cops soon came because of the ruckus, but the homosexual goat rapists made up this "black magic" story to cover the truth.
It's sad, really.

You will be receiving two plastic baggies each containing two air guitar strings.
Warning: May or may not have traces of anthrax, Arsenic, or little stabby leprechauns. [not a guarantee.]
You will also receive 2 Awethumbs in said envelope.

If you have the power to change into a f***ing animal, Why would you steal such a shit car. become an eagle.... Silly Nigerians.
Also, i was arrested as a goat, i would then morph into a dragon and kill whoever arrested me.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max tapes a conversation between 2 people walking around union square. As he refines the sound quality of the recording the words take on new meaning until finally he becomes shirley and chef's dupe.

I find it a little hard to believe that someone would try to steal a Mazda 323. Oh, and as for the Liken goat, well played.

Wow, isn't it amazing that in the 21st century there are still people who subscribe to Bronze Age thinking (I'm looking at you George Bush). I'm so happy that my life isn't dictated by magic and superstition.

If I were president, I would take this acute and inexcusable example of a depraved level of ignorance as grounds to launch our entire nuclear stockpile at Nigeria.
Also, #29? There is officially no one trying to say that picture was real. No people anyway, perhaps just brain dead animated piles of feces posing as actual individuals. But still, honestly, do you want a medal for figuring out something that a two year old could understand without help?
