Quirky World: Goat milks his five minutes of freedom with light antics
A goat caused a commotion when it was spotted in the driverâs seat of a vehicle in a Massachusetts parking lot, flashing its ownerâs lights.
The Boston Globe reports passer-by John Miller noticed the horned animal and filmed it with his phone.
Mr Miller posted the video on social media where it was discovered by the goatâs owner, Ashley Robertson.
Ms Robertson says she was on her way home with her new goat when she stopped at Home Depot. She didnât think the goat would climb into the front seat because of its size. She says the goat turned on her hazard lights, drank an old cup of lemonade, and defecated on the seat.
She says sheâs amused and âa little embarrassedâ about the goatâs internet fame.
David Cameron has been accused of launching a ânasty personal attackâ on Jeremy Corbyn during a heated clash in the Commons.
Heckled by Labour MPs over what his mother, a critic of local council cuts, would think about problems in the health service, the prime minister turned his fire on the Labour leader.
Mr Cameron said: âAsk my mother? I think I know what my mother would say. I think she would look across the despatch box and she would say âPut on a proper suit, do up your tie, and sing the national anthem.â
The attack delighted Tory backbenchers who cheered uproariously for more than 30 seconds.
But Labour MPs were quick to condemn Mr Cameron for hitting a ânew lowâ during prime ministerâs questions.
New York City transit officials say a passenger angry that a bus driver told her to stop smoking took the vehicle for a brief joy ride.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Kevin Ortiz says the bus driver noticed the woman smoking, asked her to extinguish her cigarette, and asked her to get off the bus . Ortiz says the woman became irate and the driver began transferring riders to another bus.
But he says the woman jumped into the driverâs seat and started driving off.
Ortiz says the bus went about four blocks before a dispatcher managed to reach through the window and shut it off. The woman was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. Charges are pending.
A Maine womanâs unorthodox approach to finding a kidney donor has paid off.
Linda Deming was so desperate for a kidney transplant that she posted signs along the side of the road and advertised from her car. At least 50 people have reached out to her and she eventually found two matches. The Pownal woman got the green light from her doctors last week and her surgery is scheduled for next week.
Her donor is 37-year-old Amber McIntyre, a married mother of four from Kenduskeag. The Bangor waitress says she saw Demingâs story on Facebook. She will meet Deming the night before the surgery.
Fear of dangerous predators is itself a key factor that helps keep ecologies in balance, a controversial study suggests. The findings lend support to campaigners who want to see British forests ârewildedâ with reintroduced wolves, lynx, and bears.
Scientists in Canada carried out an experiment involving raccoons on British Columbiaâs Gulf Islands which have been decimating populations of songbirds, crabs and sea fish. They suspected that the raccoon problem originated from the elimination of wolves and cougars from the islands a century ago.
