Sheep Has An Upside Down Head

the daily dish More on PawNation: Farm Animals, Funny, Sheep, Weird

    Holy sheep! You may not notice it on first glance, but if you take a closer look, you can see that this is no ordinary lamb. According to the U.K. Daily Mail, this woolly animal has defied gravity with its upside-down head.

    Allan McNamara was strolling through the small town of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, when he and his friend spotted the sheep. "I couldn't believe it. I'm friends with a girl who has a horse on the farm and she was like, "Aww, Allan, come and have a look at this sheep.'"

    McNamara told the Daily Mail, "After a little walk we came across the sheep, its head is properly upside down. It looks like it has been twisted 180 degrees." He believes that the sheep had twisted its spine.

    While it looks uncomfortable, McNamara doesn't believe the sheep is in any sort of pain. "He lives happily and has been checked by a vet to ensure he is no pain. He can eat, sleep and do everything other sheep can."

    Although it looks fake, McNamara, who filmed the YouTube video, insists the images have not been digitally altered. The video has gained almost 50,000 views in five days.

Defied gravity? explain.
Maybe a convoluted genetic plan, some unskilled wet nurse or some skilled photoshopping... but defied gravity?

"According to the U.K. Daily Mail, this woolly animal has defied gravity with its upside-down head".

What a bunch of idiots to present the worthless President as a viable choice to lead this country forward. This web site is too hard up for money or is being run by complete idiots who are out of touch with the real side of American living. No doubt they are living proof that some of the pioneers did make love to the goats. How stupid can anyone be to see that this President is no more than a puppet with someone else telling him what to say via the teleprompter. He can not speak inpromptu without giving away his true socialistic/muslim identity. Those who are lazy and on the government payroll are tho only self serving idiots who will vote for him. Their only fear is that if he is not in power and they are laid off for being incompetant that they will not be able to get a job that pays anything near what they can get from the government by being lazy, sitting on their butts, eatin bon bons and watching Opra re-runs. Get Lost you bunch of mindless idiots... Read Romans 1 and see what you have become and why????

I work for the government and take exception to your comments, I am NOT a mindless idiot and I also did not vote for Obama. Some of us actually do work and earn our pay. As a civilian I have deployed several times in support of Operations IRAQI and ENDURING FREEDOM. Can you say the same? I know first hand the sacrifice our uniformed members make everyday. So try again Skippy... besides I don't even like Opra...

Great! This was a test sheep fed genetically engineered corn. No more ordinary sheep for us! Once again proving "better living through chemistry". By the way, nice not be able to see when you're head is being lobbed off!

You're an idiot. Clearly uneducated in even the most basic scientific concepts.
