Okay, I feel a little bit bad for posting this, because it seems kind of mean, but check out these fainting goats. Apparently, they're genetically bred to have their muscles lock up when they're startled, so if you scare them, they freeze up and fall over. It seems cruel to laugh at them, but I couldn't help it.

It's a genetic disorder that was discovered back in the 1800s in Tennessee. There really aren't that many people around who raise them, but the few who do gain some notoriety because of it ... which is why they keep breeding them.
