Default The Infamous Fainting Goats

In the Steelhead Challenge Final Results thread, Miss B Haven made reference to "fainting goats". For those of you who are not familiar with this phenomenon, here's a couple of links for you:

The International Fainting Goat Association
Movie of a fainting goat in action (requires Quicktime).

Didn't want to clutter the thread, so here ya go ya LIG fans.

When startled some will fall to the ground with their entire bodies perfectly stiff and rigid. Others will only stiffen in their limbs and not fall to the ground.
