It wouldn't surprise me to learn that "planet of the goats" was made up by the shooter or someone he knows.

Oh, I thought this pic may have been taken in the Middle east, hence the reference to “Planet of the scared goats”

“Planet of the Scared Sheep” would have referred to US polling places, I guess.

Joe, are you asking to get on the ZOT LIGHTNING ping list?

Post a “yes” graphic if so. ;-)

That’s cute. I’ve never seen such an editorial interjection in the APOD before. Kinda odd-but-cool, like an Admin Moderator making comments.

The most ZOTs I've ever seen at the same time was two. Four would be earth-shattering.
