>> I'd almost bet it was a problem with the contract with the food vendor...

Bingo?

I can't look away! Aaarch.

I only said goats were smart because I know goats are smart (that is: smarter than an average person might expect) because we used to actually have goats. And because the article said goats and the video said goats I completely missed that it was not actually a goat. Also the horns: while watching the video you focus on the horns and your typical domestic sheep does not have horns. I suppose my take away lesson is how amazingly easy it is to get fooled or gullibly take something for granted which should not be taken for granted.

@ Ben Eshbach

In previous comments I was addressing other things than whether or not the person was gay or not.
I didn't even give it much thought and will admit that I assumed the archeologist new what she was talking about. But as I said my previous comments were not about that. So go f**k yourself.

@ Robin & RealMaia

Thx for those comments.

See, that's how you explain things to other people...

That's how the movie industry sees us.

Here's one that (still) works:

I love all this genome research. All my vices turn out to be caused by my genes. :D

Way to go fella! :)

Goats are smart.

@ Sue Donym

Go shout at archaeologist Katerina Semradova.

Or were you talking about yourself?

@ted

Saying that I don't like ads makes me a whiner?
I am not allowed to go on the internet if I block ads with my internet browser?

Those are the only conclusions I can draw from your comment.

If that's what you wanted to say I'm afraid it may be too late for you; you have been zombified.

@ vonskippy

Nonsense? You're not proving it with that comment which itself hardly makes any sense. And that analogy is absurd.

@ wyrda

Your theory is the far-fetched one. Why wouldn't there be homosexuality with our early ancestors?

Why this news is shocking or surprising to some people mainly testifies to their ignorance and/or close mindedness.

Great story.

And at the same time illustrates why I hate this sort of television. Are these people zombies? Robots? Lobotomies'?

The lottery is always criticized by skeptics as a tax on the stupid or something similar.

With all due respect, but the lottery is the most sensible way to gamble. Yes gamble, but in the most sensible way. The cost is minimal and the possible reward huge. That is what makes a gamble worth considering.

We gamble all the time anyway, we don't live our lives according to statistics. Or nobody would get married, for example.
