The Gävle Goat (Now taking bets on when it will catch on fire)
    #19271595 - 12/13/13 04:48 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)



The mighty Gävle goat has returned, this time sporting a special flame-retardant coating. Will it survive this year? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT

Quote:

The Gävle Goat (known in Swedish as Julbocken i Gävle or Gävlebocken), located at Slottstorget ("Castle Square") in central Gävle, is a giant version of a traditional Swedish Yule Goat figure made of straw. It is erected each year over a period of two days by the group Southern Merchants in time for the start of advent.

The goats have become the subject of a 'tradition' of regularly being torched by vandals. Burning the goat is an illegal act and can result in severe fines or even prison time for arson. However, during the 39 years of the Gävle Goat's history up to 2005, only four people have been caught or convicted. The burning of the Gävle Goat is not officially welcomed by the citizens of Gävle, but it has made the goat famous and led to increased tourism.

This tradition has been going on for a while and last year I managed to tune in to the live security camera feed just in time to see the goat lit in its fiery glory.

Anyone with a correct guess will earn a +5. Heres a timeline of its fiery doom over the years.

My guess? December 27.

There was an attempt last night, but the goat prevailed
