It seems that God has seen fit to pay tribute to one of our fallen greats.
I saw that goat on the news!
The article doesn’t have a picture, but it is as distinctive as they say - stark white and well defined against black fur.
I don’t want to crap on your thread, but the idea of God paying tribute to a human seems … I don’t want to use the word sacrilegious, but it seems to be the only one that springs to mind.
FWIW, my dad was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan and would have loved this news. But I think even he would have seen it for the possible-hoax, probable-freak-occurence that it is.
I hate to be the one to say it, but I’m going to, 'cause I’m just in one of those moods. People are crazy. So it looks like a three on the side of this goat. Even if there is some divine reason for it, what makes people think it’s 'cause of Dale Earnhardt? Maybe it’s for the Three Stooges. Maybe it’s because three is a magic number (as Schoolhouse Rocks has told us). Maybe it’s even representative of the Holy Trinity! I mean, goodness gracious people, three is just a number, and it shows up all over the place!
Knead to Know, I guess I should have used a smiley that implies sarcasm. I guess I thought it was a given that if I was able to use the internet, I was smart enough to not really believe that it was God’s tribute to a race car guy.
Looks like Mother Nature beat God to the punch with the Butterfly Alphabet, and even got the color scheme correct - red, black and white. Okay, the number isn’t angled, so just tilt your monitor.
He even made CNN headline news. Be interesting to see what that goats children will look like.
Saw this one on the Obscure Store and Reading Room site where it links to an article that does have a photo. It’s a pretty ragged looking 3.
The scary thing is the number of people who have made the pilgrimage to see this critter - and stood there with tears in their eyes. How empty their lives must be!
As a Dale Earnhardt fan, I’d probably have given it the same name if it were my goat. It’s cute. Dale certainly was a great driver and exciting to watch when he was really dialed in. But geeeeezzz, don’t these folks have something more important to do than go visit a goat???
On the other hand, you’ve got to give credit to the animal’s owner for seeing the potential and taking advantage of this cash cow/goat while the gettin’s good.
Well, I think that settles the debate, If all you atheists would just like to form an orderly queue, we’ll have you all converted in no time.
Sorry, Caricci. My sarcasmeter’s been a little off lately. 
Agnostic here: if a rainbow-colored farm critter is born with a big ol’ 24 on each flank, I will be the first in line shouting “Praise Buddha, Allah, Y****h, et al”.
screech-owl
(unabashed Jeff Gordon fan here)
Budda, Allah, Y****h, et al. Sounds like a law firm.

Just in case you wanted to see a picture of the “amazing” goat.
Meet mah goat. Ah call him the Intimidator.
Didn’t anyone think that maybe the goat is the reincarnation of Dale Earnhart? C’mon. That’s the only possible answer. I mean, it was Daytona after all…
That’s not a 3, it’s a backwards E. Clearly this goat is the reincarnation of Elvis.
Looks like y’all can have a chance to buy the ‘Special Kid.’
Gee, Why did God use the wrong font?
Just ordinary kids I expect.
What they don’t mention in the article is that “Lil’ Dale” likes to run laps around the yard- at around 200mph.
Pretty durn impressive evidence, to me.
I told Mr. S about this story, and his immediate response was "Too bad it wasn’t a jackass . . ."
After 14 years that man still cracks me up.
