Thomas Thwaites, Formerly a Man, Is Now a Goat
If Elizabeth Warren can be an Indian, and Bruce Jenner can be a woman, then it stands to reason that Thomas Thwaites can be a goat:
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.
Good thing British taxpayers have plenty of money and don’t mind that the government wastes it in the most flagrant ways conceivable.
Why does Thomas want to be a goat?
‘I suppose it was because it could be fairly difficult, depressive and just stressful being a human being,’ Thwaites told DailyMail.com.
Especially if your skull rattles with loose screws. But at least living in this age gives him plenty of company — even if he eschews it in favor of the company of goats.
‘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.’
Good thing. Goats are easier to clean up after.
