RANDOM INTERNATIONAL TRADITIONAL NEWS FROM PNN
So
to prepare for the Holiday Season and being that this is the World
History section of the Website, you all have to check this one out.
Well, King P wants the Directors of Randomness to report daily on this
wacky holiday matter. Apparently, the Swedes have this wacky Christmas
tradition of making a giant goat from like a hay material after the
harvest season. The Swedish city of Gavle claims to make the biggest
giant goat in the world. It is suppose to be a traditional symbol of
Christmas in Sweden. The funny thing about the giant goat is that it is
suppose to be up through Christmas and the New Year but each year the
giant goat usually does NOT makes it. Each year some phantom Swede (or
others like even a 51 yr old American in 2001) comes along and lights
the giant goat on fire. Each year security is stepped up and each year
the burning of the giant goat gets more elaborate. Supposedly, it is big
news in Sweden. The smirking newsman will come on TV and say something
like, “Well, the giant goat got it early this year” or “Although it
lasted longer than usual, the giant goat has suffered the same fate
once again.” I hear that most Swedes laugh about the whole thing. Yet,
the security tries to take it serious by preventing a burning and have
the giant goat make it to Christmas. This year security has two 24 hour
web-cam monitoring things. Also, there is apparently some nonflammable
substance to protect the giant goat from any possible attempts to burn
it down. Will the security protect the giant goat until Christmas or
will the same wacky burning tradition continue? Be sure to monitor this
goofy international story during the holiday season. Lycka Till, Swedish Gavle Goat
