High on a green sweep of Swiss Alps, grazing with a herd of goats, Thomas Thwaites is on all fours dressed as one of them.
Sweat is dripping off the end of my nose, Thwaites writes in his new book, Goat Man: How I Took a Holiday From Being Human (Princeton Architectural Press). My arms are on fire, and I cant really feel my knuckles, but I imagine theres not all that much skin left on them.
After months of preparation, Thwaites had finally achieved his goal: to become a goat. Researching their thought patterns, he learned that goats are most likely stuck in time, not able to think about the future or the past much, because they probably dont have episodic memory.

In 2014, the 33-year-old British freelance graphic designer was in debt, living with his father, and sending out résumés to no avail. With so much worry on his mind, he thought it would be wonderful to step away from the complexities of the world and have a lovely holiday, not just . . . away from your job (if you have one), but away from your very self. Oh, good grief.

Wow, this could be tough when he’s figuring out which restroom to use.
To: heterosupremacist
Does he use a bathroom or does he do it where ever? And which bathroom would he use if he goes indoors?
I am sooo confused.

Psssst. He is not a goat, nor will ever be one.
I’m sorry to be so harsh, but this is biological reality.
To: heterosupremacist
Should try his luck as a Tennessee fainting goat. Some screwy people in this world.
To: Tea Party Terrorist
But in today’s world, science and biology don’t matter, unless it involves global warming. However, I am a goat for tax purposes, goats don’t pay income tax
Think about it
This nonsense will end once it costs the government money

What a pretty way to describe a nervous breakdown.

He’d better not stray into muslime country if he wants to keep his virginity.

On the lighter brighter side,
Target's willing to let him poop on their bathroom floors.. ‘cause we all know goats don't use toilets.This guy's no more a goat than Bruce Jenner's a woman.
Lucky for him the management at Target is blind and vile..
