About the list having a goat: would that be a genetically engineered goat, large? Whose genetics would be engineering it?
ATM I think it is a virtual goat, but it seems to me to be expanding into the space available like a sort-of gradual embodiment of neo-Parkinsonism.
I vote we keep careful watch on it and throw it some virtual forage from time to time. You never know, one day we might be able to milk it for all it's worth.
