[The Black Spot]

Well, it made me laugh:

Another one of your shaggy dog stories.

Hmmm, have they tried it with goats?? It could cut down on Goatie's child support payments!

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

How stupid must one be to not see the difference between a poodle and a sheep?

I mean, really? How stupid is that?

They shows one of the supposed creatures on TV - twas hard not to spot the sheep's head

The Japanese don't know what sheep look like. Mom had a Japanese exchange student that took piano from her. They practically lived at the Petting Zoo so that the kids could learn about exotic animals, like...sheep.

They say big, fluffy furry things, they assumed poodles.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

M(eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-e)h.. it was a hoax.

Besides not only I find hard to believe that a sheep is cheaper than a poodle, but I much rather take a sheep (not big fan of poodles, sorry).

You mean we can't believe what we read in The Sun?
I'm shocked.

I am amazed the telegraph did not run with it

They leave the hoaxes to the Murdoch group papers. You probably don't remember the Hitler's diary hoax of the 80s at the Times.

"Friday: Took Blondie for a walk, had veggie-burger for tea, invaded Poland."

Or something like that.

I do remember that. Brought both fame and shame to many.
Now, what about the Voynich Manuscript?

[goat starer]

I remember it well.....

Met Eva for lunch. Wore my big pants. Painted two pictures. Leni Riefenstahl said they were V V Good. Killed 9 million jews. V V Bad.

My birthday. The Bolsheviks honor me with a big fireworks display. Göring botched the promised aerial show but Hanna Reitsch landed right before the door and brought the cake.
Plan to marry Eva as a surprise next week. Hess will be not invited.

A whole new thread possibility. Secret diaries of the famous. Think it's been done by Private Eye though.
