In the news:

The Christmas Goat, also known as the Gävle Goat in its native Sweden, is back for its eighth year in a town near the capitol of Iceland. But many are wondering for how long. The enormous goat decoration, made of straw fastened around a thin metal frame, has not had the best run in Iceland. In both 2010 and 2012, vandals set fire to the goat. In 2011 and 2013, unusually high winds tore down the goat, whose thin metal frame was unable to stand up against Iceland’s trademark gusts.

Last year, the goat committed suicide, in a way – faulty wiring in the Christmas lights reportedly sparked an ignition of the straw, catching fire. How long the Christmas goat will last this year still remains to be seen.

A fact:

Boomers brace yourselves! Contrary to popular belief, a new study finds that “Baby Boomers” don't have a stronger work ethic than those in later generations. An analysis of 77 studies turned up no significant difference in work ethic between boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), Generation X (1965 to 1980), and millennials (1981 to 1999).
