Headline news from New Zealand: The hunt for the six nippled ram. This is precisely why I watch the evening news.

Watching the news in Chicago is depressing. For example, today I glanced at the Chicago Tribune’s headlines and they were littered with words like murder, rape and gunshots.

In regards to the ram with six teats, Stuff focused on the desire to breed quad-nippled sheep, and to do this you need a ram with six nipples. Who knew?

I don’t care for sheep, and I prefer beef over lamb, but cows, when they’re alive, are fat and stupid. Sheep look fluffy. I think Kiwis are obsessed with their livestock, for example check out Black Sheep.

There are 40 million sheep in New Zealand and they’re pissed off!

Honestly, this could open happen here. It looks terrible. I’m going to love it. Update: New Zealand’s biggest aquatic celebrity, a colossal squid, was caught today and weighs 495 kilograms (1091 lbs) - the largest ever caught.

    That squid is going to be in my nightmares tonight, thankyouverymuch. Also, I think I might have vomited a little bit while I was reading about how it would start to rot if left at room temperature to thaw.

    Also, I sort of feel obligated to comment every time I read your blog, because of your little “how pathetic!” line you have there.

    Well played, Jeffrey. Well played.

    Well played indeed! Don’t have nightmares, although the squid looks ugly and wet. How cool is it that Bonnie comments? Mom, if you’re out there, cheerio chip chip, and tomatoes are delicious!
