Exhausted by the stresses and strains of modern life, Thomas Thwaites decided to forgo home comforts and test if the grass really was greener elsewhere - by living as a goat in Switzerland.
Having applied for a university grant to study goat psychology, Thomas tracked down a goatherd in the village of Wolfenschiessen in Switzerland which was prepared to take him in for a few days while the animals grazed on their summer pasture.
Then came the challenge of living as a goat, which meant being able to walk on all fours and digest grass.
The researcher enlisted the help of a prosthetics clinic in Manchester to create his 'goat legs', while experts from the University of Aberystwyth designed a goat's 'stomach' for him, which was strapped onto his waist.
'I could strap this bag to my torso and spit chewed up grass into one opening and suck the cultured microbes and volatile fatty acids out another opening like a milkshake, so I could digest them in my true stomach and live off grass in the Alps like a goat,' he said.

Daniel 4
30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Lots of leftists out there!
Too many.
If you pan out on that picture you’ll see there are walls around the field and he is in the nuthouse.
I don’t buy that for a microsecond. I’d like to see him living like a goat in the alps in the winter.
Actually even in the best day of the summer - no shelter, clothing and only eating grass.
>> E.g., if you have a relative who presents TDS while at your home, you can simply say “Why don’t you try living as a goat. They are very happy animals!” and provide the link to this article.
🤣😂🤣 I like the way you think. 👍🏻😀
Of course it’s not true but it helps him pick up women to mate with that he meets in group therapy sessions.
The UK is not a serious country.
You beat me to it!
However, unlike Nebuchadnezzar, this idiot remains deluded and lost.
By the end, he had been accepted into the goat herd. He even had a friend. It was a she friend. I hope she wasn’t looking for more than friendship and, if so, I hope he did not cooperate.
Yep, it looks like he is a little too comfortable in that position…….not even going there.
Heck, there really is GOAT YOGA in this country now!
At least he won’t ever face divorce, losing half of everything, and losing the kids. Not my thing, but doesn’t seem to be hurting anyone, and we didn’t lose an Einstein, so...
Besides we all laughed at Jim Breuer on SNL...
Maybe a new field of lawyerly litigation?
thats fine
as long as he doesnt try to use the goat bathrooms/showers
why did he go to switzerland?
whats wrong with American goats?
I wasnt implying he was “into” female goats. Still, if he was, its probably a safer, better choice for him than any modern woman he could find nowadays.
But will the cannery accept his carcass for sausage?
Do you know why he has his head buried in the grass?

Because there isn’t any sand.
True, especially democrats ….lol
