The Pregnant Goat …

Lagos-Street-02 ol
Originally uploaded by Elron6900.
This is the pregnant goat. I was in Lagos, worling on this street for 5 years, and this goat was pregnant essentially the entire time. I never really did work out who owned her, or where all the baby goats went … not too sure I want to delve too deeply […]

This is perhaps the most incredible control of a radio plane I have ever seen.  If this man didn't qualify for whatever it was he was trying to qualify for, the other entrants must have been beyond mind boggling.  Not only does this this demonstrate amazing skill by the guy […]
