Genetically Engineering Sheep for Larger, Stronger Hindquarters

Posted by chrisd on from the baaby-got-baack dept.

baldingbobo writes "Duke and Agriculture department scientists are reporting that they have discovered an elusive, mutated gene that causes certain sheep to have unusually big and muscular bottoms. The discovery is especially exciting, said the researchers, because the unusual gene has evaded all the traditional means of detection for nearly a decade. They've been searching for this advance for nearly a decade.There are photos available as well."

    If this whole article isn't a perfect straight line, I don't know what is.

    We've got the scottish jokes, the 'black-girl's-butts' jokes, the goatsex-guy jokes, and who know's what else looming in the wings.

    I actually pitty the poor lonely scottsman that first makes a pass at one of these things. I'm guessing they kick HARD! Probably jump relatively well too.
