You can see the camera footage here - it's still standing.

I do like what happened to it in 2005 (from Wikipedia): Burnt by unknown vandals reportedly dressed as Santa and the gingerbread man, by shooting a flaming arrow at the goat.[15][30] Reconstructed on 5 December. The hunt for the arsonist responsible for the goat-burning in 2005 was featured on the weekly Swedish live broadcast TV3's "Most Wanted" ("Efterlyst") on 8 December.

Some Christmas themed true or false questions from QI.

1. The first British artificial Christmas trees made with bristles were produced by a toilet brush company?
2. A pill has been invented in France named “Father Christmas” that claims to make your farts smell like mince pies?
3. Goats produce less milk if they're listening to Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'?
4. A YULESHARD is someone who still has things left to prepare and finish on Christmas Eve?

1: T. Think you posted this one a few days ago.
2: F. I'm guessing it'd be some other country, Japan maybe?
3: T. No idea, I'm more hoping it's true, can't stand that song.
4: Probably going to be T, but I'll say F. Doesn't sound like the right definition to me.

1. T - it makes sense to me
2. F - surely not!
3. T - I reckon I would go on strike if I was forced to listen to it!
4. F - I have never heard that word

So close! I only said “false” to the toilet brush one because of the inclusion of “British”, and then “true” to the Mariah Carey one because I always like to go 2 true and 2 false!

A bit like being $100 short of your preferred trade and going down a totally different path with negative knock-on effects

I remember the 2011 hail storm in Melbourne well ... I had only just bought a brand new car about two months before and the hail turned it into a golf ball!
