Right before your very eyes

I just have to tell you that this post is the kind of thing that just makes me smile. Some people are just crazy. I check out the interesting news in today's headlines and see one that is just what I need after a long day. The first line of the article reads: " One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. " Now this is not one of your cute, harrowing or heart wrenching stories... No siree. This was the result of fine police detective work down in that there Nigeria place.

Seems Like, What Had Happened Was...
According to a police spokesperson;two days ago two men tried to steal a Mazda. One of the "vigilantes" got away. The other one was not so lucky. When said "vigilante" was about to be apprehended by the po-lice he transformed himself into a goat.

Wow...
I'm not sure how handy a trick it would be to turn ones self into a goat. I mean if I was going to turn myself into something why not a tiger or a hawk? Then I could either have eaten the police or flown away. But a goat? Maybe the guy had a power he couldn't control and it only happens when he gets stressed out. I could certainly understand the goat thing then. I mean if you can't control morphing into an animal then how could you chose what animal you were morphing into.
It gets better...
The newspaper apparently went on to say that the police then captured said subject and paraded him before the journalists and had his picture taken. Now that is some fine police work there. Not only did you catch an evil goat changing car thief but you took the time to let people know that they were safe in your hands. Crime doesn't pay while you are on the job.
I just hope this criminal learns to control his morphing abilities soon. Doing hard time will certainly have him stressed out. Today he may be a goat, but tomorrow it could be anything. There might not be a prison farm big enough to handle that.
