The ram lives at the research facility on 35th Street near Campus Way and is part of a study on homosexuality in sheep, said Sheep Center manager Tom Nichols.
Someone please tell me this is a joke.

"We have at least one prank a year where we have to go to a dormitory or a sorority house and pick up a ram or a lamb or a ewe," Nichols said. "It's one of those springtime pranks." HA! I can attest to that, when I was in college, two sheep and a cow were found in the girl's bathroom. In separate incidents....

No, I doubt it is a joke.
You also find homosexuality in other mammals as well. But I think in every case, it has more in common with rape than with consensuality, with the dominant participant forcing themselves on the less dominant one.
I have not heard of the less dominant participant deriving any benefit from the exchange, nor have I heard of pure homosexuality in animals, as when the females go into heat - all homosexual tendencies are put aside until the heat is over.
This is all supposition from mostly random observations over the years. Mostly of a particular dog of ours that was not exactly homosexual, but could probably be termed omnisexual... that is he tried to mount anything and everything, and it was generally quite disgusting. We usually threw rocks at him whenever we caught him.
PETA be damned. I was outside Federal jurisdiction at the time anyhow. :-)

At first I was worried about a football player stealing a sheep but then I read that it was a ram and thought that all was ok but then I read that it was a homosexual ram and then I became REALLY worried.

What a bunch of mis-behaving borderline dangerous brats (drinking & driving, assault, endangering themselves and others with a loaded, 200 lb. gay ram) wasting time and money during their college years.
Why don't they keep these members of the Football Team penned up at the Gay Sheep Research Lab, and put the sheep in class instead of these kids?
Everyone would come out ahead, especially the tax payers if this is a publicly funded college, LOL!

You know, I noticed in the road atlas that there's a "Sheep Experiment Station" in Idaho, and I always wondered exactly what kind of experiments they did...

Whitney Susan Rodgers, 19, of Glendale, Ariz. must be a real hottie. The two guys have thrown her over for a gay ram.
