SCIENTISTS: Goats Likely Not Planning World Takeover

According to a new study from the University of Florida, goats are not believed to be planning any sort of global uprising.  "At least not in the next decade,“ says lead researcher Dr. Anton Willis.  "The goat communication networks are just far too underdeveloped for any sort of massive organization.  It’ll be at least 10 years before they’re able to come together on the scale necessary to foment any sort of worldwide rebellion.  But they’re up to something.  Count on that.”

That’s good news for farmers who had been fearing a goat revolution and will now have years to plan.  The Fluffington Post could not, however, find any farmers who actually had that concern.

REPORT: Billy Goats Not Gruff, Just Misunderstood

In contradiction to long held beliefs, new research out of Wales indicates that billy goats are not as gruff as once thought.  "It’s a common misconception about goats that they are rather surly,“ says Dr. Elwydd Winchester of Cardiff University, who has been studying goats in their natural habitat for over 15 years.  "In fact, billy goats are gentle creatures.  We believe it is their voracious appetites that led to the erroneous reputation for gruffness.”
