So, being the holiday season, I decided to look up the holiday of Yule on Wikipedia. This led me to Yule Goat which, in turn, led me to the Gävle Goat.
I have never laughed reading a Wikipedia entry before.
Granted, I feel bad that people are having to rebuilt their goat figures, but when you see sentences to the effect of "Burned 3 days after erecting" and "made flame-resistant with guards patrolling around the clock. Burned 5 minutes later" it's pretty amusing, and when they break down the number built, burned, stolen, and hit by a car, giving it a survival rate, I lost it.
Viva la yule goat!
