Nome is used to rowdy residents, but some relatively new transplants are making a real nuisance of themselves -- although unlike the colorful characters of the early 20th century gold rush days, these visitors have four legs, not two.
Musk oxen are wandering into the city on the Seward Peninsula, and despite loud noises, water hoses and even a blow-up bear coated in ursine urine, they don't want to leave.

The spider-goats are just normal goats with an extra gene or two that have been transposed into them. The first successful transgenic generation was male.
They had to breed the males to produce a second generation which could produce milk. In that milk was a protein that can be made into spider-silk. Weight-for-weight, spider-silk is ten times stronger than steel.
The only reason to use goats is that spiders are more difficult to control, especially when you’re trying to milk them.

Worst part of it is that I can very easily see the goat sitting there, tongue sticking out to the side, watching.
Thanks!

Maybe if you're a Baggins.
IIRC, Shelob started out as a spider-goat.

If memory serves, according to one myth Baal was a goat headed spider.
I gotta refresh memory on it though.

Escape is dependant on three things:
1. Has my spelling bar remembered your screen name? It has.
2. How quickly can you make the emergency exits? They are guarded.
3. Has Stockholm syndrome set in yet?
Cup of Coffee , anyone? :)

That wouldn’t be my coffee, would it?
If so, escape may be the best course of action.

Has Stockholm syndrome set in yet?No, but we most definitely has us a case of Manchurian Candidate rule...
And it's not curable with a shot of penicillin.
