In his quest for a simpler life, one man has transformed himself into a goat.
Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow him to roam around on all fours.
He’s studied their behaviour, learned their way of communicating and even attempted to create an artificial goat stomach to allow him to eat grass.
His efforts, funded by the government, culminated in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a herd.
Thwaites, who is interested in transhumanism, believes not everyone will want to become a cyborg in the future.
Biorobotics, he told Motherboad, could be used by people to de-volve instead of evolve.
‘I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.’

GoneSalt, that case of the sniffles was a designer virus carrying a new DNA segment to be implanted throughout your system, and the experiment was a success...
We are going to drop you behind enemy lines where you will terrorise ISIS fighters in the night...
For morale and to keep you company, and because her movies are getting stale, we've drafted Scarlett Johannsen to accompany you and injected her with the same viral DNA...
SCARJO: Sigh. I want to talk to my lawyer.
GS: Jeez. Even when she's a cat, she's hot.
That’s funny.
I don't suppose you or anyone you know was asked about this..
At least the G'vt financed this instead of giving Iran a bazillion pounds to play with like our own dearest leader has just done..
Maybe it's a new G'vt mooslime outreach, eh?
Nanny Caitlyn.
Whichever tree he fell out of must be missing him dearly.
Not wishing to mock the afflicted ,but, BWAHhh hhha haaaa hee hee what a complete Charlie's Aunt !
He can’t say he didn’t get wise council..
‘I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.’
He just miss-applied it.. ;-)
“How did you piss him off? :)”
My mere existance up on his roof pissed him off.
He was an onery piss stinking bastard.
He climbed on the woodpile and got up there and my dad wanted him down so the roof would not get damaged.
My dad thought it was funny. Lucky I fell in the the blackberry bushs.
Next I managed to rope him and pull him down in the same bush’s, then he ate the thorny things. I was hoping they would kill him but, that is just what they love to eat.
Only an animal from Satan eats thorns!!
Thorns? Heck I thought these guys could eat a tin can!
Is this anyway to attract a muslim boyfriend?
This guy is a typical “researcher”. They have moronic ideas which are funded by morons who give grants to this mentally unbalanced people. The grants are usually OPM (other peoples’ money).
Especially if they try to get you to face the edge of a cliff.
We watching you (looking at him) Joe.
A descendant of Nebuchadnezzar?
This just screams, ‘Monty Python Fake News Skit,’ LOL!
Just damn. We sure do spend a lot of time and money acting as if many things aren’t a profound mental illness.
England’s gone totally screwy, if their government is paying for this.
I want to see him eat blackberry vines!!
