And now, the english version:
Well, this is the first post of the brand new blog "Quichas e afins...", which I decided to create after the smashing success they experienced here and abroad (I'm actually abroad, but that's a detail)... Having said this, to start, I share the picture which created such a landmark... :)
For those of you out there who are wondering what "Quichas" are, well... I can only say that it's the most portuguese and typical designation you can come up to "goat" :)))

I have a question for the goats: I've been using my goat anti-hamster antibody at a 1:100,000 dilution for Western blots and I'm still experiencing way too much signal! Just how do you goats produce such killer antibody?
One more question: If you (the goats) were presented with three doors and knew that behind two of the doors stood two brand new cars while the remaining door hid a substantial pile of hay and you were asked to guess behind which door stood this substantial pile of hay which door would you choose? Before you answer, there is a catch. . .
Dear Ed,
Concerning your questions:
1)How would you expect, that us goats could react to such a traumatizing experience of having hamster antigens in us??!! Of course we would react very vigorously and against that kind of behaviour! We have our goat pride!!!
2)About your other question...well...we’re smart and all, but we’re just goats... we advice you to ask Martin and Luís about that particular question, as we think they did quite an introspection on the subject...
Best regards,
The goats.
Please don't think this to be self-serving on my part, but I must admit that I take exception to the fact that in all of this talk of goats there has yet to be a single mention of guns, germs and steel. If the goats would like it, I could send them a copy of my Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel and, for a small price, the DVD of the 'Guns, Germs and Steel' documentary based upon my Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel.
In their comtemplation of their station in life, it would bring me great happiness--both personally (i.e., as Jared Diamond the man) and professionally (e.g., as the UCLA scholar and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel)--if the goats were mindful of the machinations of the tripartite--nay, indivisibly tripartite--historical forces of Guns, Germs, and Steel.
