3. Man Scrambles Down At Least 14 Stories Of High-Rise After Fire Reported.

   “Once the man reached the ground he was greeted by waiting police officers before walking away,” the NBC station said, adding that the man appeared unharmed. He has not been identified.

   Well, yes, of course, of all the super-heroes, Spider-Man is the most protective of his secret identity.

9. No problem. It’s kind of an off-topic post anyway. We can go anywhere with this post and comments.

12. We had goats when I was a kid (the human kind). Nannies only, billies became meat and hide as soon as they were weaned. We always kept them tethered. They will eat anything.

13. I like animals, and goats are annoyingly cute.

    Had “Saddle of Goat” at Greywalls, medium rare – one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever had.

15. This self-described “superhero” is definitely not one if the story at the link is true.

16. That place looks incredibly beautiful and amazing, mg, and I am jealous you have been there. But No! That is not what I want a goat for.

    DRJ – Playgrounds with heights is what they like.

18. Goat is the number one eaten meat in the world.

19. I know. We call it cabrito and I can’t eat that either. Plus I have a playground. They would love it with me.

20. I have constructed a few of the elevated goat playgrounds. They love being on top of things.

22. @21 quote from story:

    A worker at the company told the Evening Standard: “They’re protesting against Drax, but they don’t live here anymore. I understand [the protester’s aims] but it helps if they check the facts.”

    End of story. Yes, interesting that they quote “it helps if they check the facts” and end the story right there.
