How many goats are you worth? You've always wondered. Take the quiz and find out.
8 goats for me too.
I have *no* idea what this means.

And a fence, you have to have a fence, and they keep you up a night too. Not to mention the insurance for when they bite little Billy from down the road on his arm and it swells up into something even the doctor cringes at. No thanks.

OK, so I took the test on behalf of my S.O. and he is only worth 9 goats. (If you recall, I am worth 10. 10 goats!)
That's not a huge discrepancy. I think I can train him, to bump him up to my level. I need to develop a goat-worthiness program.

10 goats, bitches! That's marriage material. You know, like Natalie Portman.
Uh... isn't she the model manic pixie dream girl? I think this means you're dour and romantic comedy material.

Well, they describe her manic pixie dream girl role in Garden State as a loveably eccentric little angel in the body of a smokin'-hot goddess, spreading good cheer and tuneful indie rock to depressed boys everywhere. At ten goats, that's a bargain.

I'm fairly annoyed that this quiz says a woman's "desperate years" start seven years before a man's. I'm even more annoyed that I'm annoyed by anything having to do with an internet quiz about goat-worth.
Anyway.
10 goats. "Desperate" years . Piano. Let all 98 die. Whatever I'm hungry for. etc.
Sounds like some kind of bizarre code. "How many goats?" "Piano." "Let all 98 die, then."

Can someone explain to me what "GGGGGGG-Unit" means?
And why this palpably random quiz exists?
And why we all feel compelled to tell one another how many goats we're worth (9) anyway?
Oh, wait, I just answered the second question, didn't I? Ok, just the first one.

Yes - unless they do not so much fly, as plummet.

If they haven't mentioned it to you then probably "subtle". Or possibly "outright embarrassing", I guess.

I wanna know about this 9 goats + brother thing vs. 10 goats. I mean, is there something wrong with the brother?
Or maybe there's something wrong with that tenth goat....Can you trade the defective brother for another goat or a guinea pig or something?

So you have to let the other 98 people drown to be worth ten goats? Is that the message here? That NINETY EIGHT PEOPLE ARE EQUAL TO TWO EXTRA GOATS ON YOUR DOWRY?!?!?
Oh. Okay, then.

Nah, I decided to have it both ways by saving my loved one AND punching out anyone who tried to tell me I couldn't save the other 98 as well. I'm still a 10-goater.
And I got the Natalie Portman thing too. Considering that yesterday I was laughing at the Manic Pixie Dream Girl article, that was a little sobering.

Only 6 goats. But that still means I'm more than half of George Clooney!
What I find interesting is that we've discovered that Clooney/Portman is worth 10 goats. So can I give The Heifer Project $1,200 and have them send a Natalie Portman clone to some starving villagers? Will I get regular letters from the people I'm helping in LA or Bollywood describing how the Natalie Portman I sent them has brought in acting revenue allowing them to buy a new water system or educate their children?

9 goats. Was it the getting up on the bus, watching TV at night, organic meal or pen and paper for the week alone I wonder. Or the fact that I'd save my loved and punch anyone else out?

I got a "9/10" "almost the most beautiful woman here" thingy. I thought it might be my career (lawyer/doctor), my diplomacy (I'd breathe slowly and pray for a quick exit), my fashion sense (flowy n elegant), my free time (dinner with friends, social), or my choice in the empty room (paper n pen) but considering that I am in my desperate years, I think it may come down to my utter lack of familiarity with Facebook.
