Thomas Thwaites' converted himself into a goat for three days, earning him the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize of Biology.
In his quest for a simpler life, one man has transformed himself into a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow him to roam around on all fours. He’s studied their behaviour, learned their way of communicating and even attempted to create an artificial goat stomach to allow him to eat grass. His efforts, funded by the government, culminated in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a herd.
But why would anyone go to such lengths to be a goat? ‘I suppose it was because it could be fairly difficult, depressive and just stressful being a human being,’ Thwaites told DailyMail.com. Thwaites, who is interested in transhumanism, believes not everyone will want to become a cyborg in the future. Biorobotics, he told Motherboard, could be used by people to de-volve instead of evolve. ‘I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.’
The researcher set himself a goal of crossing the Swiss Alps and, and on his way, managed to convince a goat farmer to let him live with his herd. He also convinced Dr Glyn Heath, a former zoologist in Salford, to create the bizarre prosthetics. But living as a goat, Thwaites soon found, wasn’t as easy as he’d expected. The prosthetics were painful, the landscape was tough and Thwaites was constantly battling the cold. Those challenges, however, were nothing compared to the task of convincing the herd he was one of them.
‘It’s much easier to walk up on my prosthetic front legs. So I ended up quite high on a hill surrounded by goats,’ he recalls. ‘That was possibly a goat faux-pas, because it shows dominance by how high in the herd you are. ‘I looked up and all the other goats were looking at me. Everyone else had stopped chewing and it was in that moment, when I thought, “those horns look quite sharp”. ‘Luckily, I think I made a goat friend. He made a move, and it kind of diffused the situation.’
A farmer, whose herd was grazing nearby, witnessed the incident and told Thwaites he thought the goats had finally accepted him. After his three days living with the herd, Thwaites spent another three days as a goat living alone. ‘It was an interesting experience,’ he said. ‘I guess, I just think perhaps it would be nicer to live a simpler life.’ Thwaites plans to showcase photos of his project at London's Studio1.1 Gallery from September 3 to 17. He also has a book coming out in the spring, titled ‘GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.’

Could a human take a holiday from being a human by becoming a goat? Could one person make an electric toaster from scratch? No, and no. But designer Thomas Thwaites uses his attempts at these impossible tasks to traverse and link diverse topics in economics, philosophy, science and its history. He will talk about his recent attempt to become a goat, as well as his other design work.

A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like.
The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed. "I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be an animal for a bit, I want to take a holiday from being a human being.'"
In a project supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global health foundation based in London, Thwaites spent nine months exploring the potential of becoming a goat, or as near to it as humanly possible. He looked at getting a fake stomach that would help him digest grass, but had to abandon the idea after being advised of likely health problems. Eager for insights into goats' non-vocal behaviour, he even underwent experiments which temporarily blocked his power of speech. The technique, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, entails holding an electromagnet close to a person's skull to disrupt neuron activity in the speech centre of the brain. Thwaites even dissected a goat at London's Royal Veterinary College before finally getting a taste of real goat life on a farm in the Swiss Alps.
Living among the animals for three days, he trotted around on artificial limbs designed to mimic the movement of a goat. But life on all fours was not easy, he found. "The main difficulty is taking weight through your arms for an extended period of time… we are not built to do that," he said. "I found it so much easier going up as a goat than down… so I found myself high on the mountain in the middle of the herd and then this kind of event happened, where everyone goes silent. It was like that bit in a bar, in a Western (movie) or something." Thwaites hopes the project will fuel discussion about the challenges of adopting a different perspective on life.
A book about his experiences- "Goat Man: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human"-will be published in April 2016. Thwaites had originally thought he would like to try life as an elephant. But he rejected the idea after deciding that they were too similar to humans as they "can get depressed and go mad."

A British man who lived as a goat for three days is among the winners of this year's Ig Nobel prizes for scientific research.
Thomas Thwaites designed prosthetic limbs that allowed him to walk on all fours and graze with goats on a farm in the Alps.
He published his research in a book entitled GoatMan: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human and his work was recognised at the annual awards, parodying the Nobel Prizes, which are given out for the most unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.
Mr Thwaites, wearing his prosthetic limbs, said the award was a "huge honour" as he collected the prize at a ceremony at Harvard University in the US.
He said: "I got tired of all the worry and the pain of being a human and so I decided I would take a holiday from it all and become a goat."
Mr Thwaites shared the biology prize with another British author, Charles Foster, who also spent time living as a variety of animals.
His work, Being A Beast, saw him take on the perspective of a badger, an otter, a fox, a red deer and a swift.
Mr Foster, a fellow at the University of Oxford, told the audience: "We have five glorious senses. Normally we use only one of them - vision. It's a very distorting lens because it's linked to our cognition. That means we get only about 20% of the information that we can squeeze out this extraordinary world.
"Animals, by and large, do a good deal better.
"In an attempt to see woods as the really are without that distorting lens of vision and cognition, I tried to follow five non-human species; badgers, foxes, otters, red deer and ridiculously swifts.
"It increased my understanding of what their landscape is really like rather than landscapes coloured by our colonial impressions of what those landscapes should be like.
"It also generated in me a good deal of empathy for these animals and we can do with a little more of that."
Volkswagen also got an honourable mention, winning the chemistry prize for "solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromagnetically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested".
The German car manufacturer was embroiled in a scandal after it emerged millions of its vehicles were fitted with software known as defeat devices to cheat emissions tests.

This is the man so intrigued by goats that he gave it all up to live with them in the mountains. Thomas Thwaites spent three days as part of a herd in the Swiss Alps while investigating goat behaviour. He used special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to move around on all fours easily. And the designer even considered having a fake stomach fitted to let him to eat grass, just like his four-legged friends.
Mr Thwaites cloven-hooved sojourn was aimed at "taking a break from being a self-conscious being" He told Mashable: "My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future." Mr Thwaites is a British conceptual designer interested in how humans will use technology to fulfil their desires
But being a goat wasn't a completely care-free existence. He told Motherboard: "I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometre or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust. "So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit. "But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying. Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock.". Thwaites has written a book about his experiences, called ‘GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’.

In a coup d'etat of DIY, designer Thwaites set about building a toaster from scratch. And we mean scratch. Thwaites reverse engineered a seven dollar toaster into 400 separate parts and then set about recreating steel from iron ore rocks, plastic from microwaved potatoes and copper from homemade bromide mush. The result is a hilarious examination of the industrial materials and processes surrounding our lives.

Thomas Thwaites, 34-year-old man who resides in London is tired of being a human and decided to do some research on what it would be like to live as a goat by creating prosthetic limb attachments that made him exactly like a goat.
He spent the past year developing, designing and building his prosthetic arm and leg attachments, going through many designs and concepts. After he was done, he transformed temporarily into a goat and traveled to the Alps to live with them for 3 days, and then spend 3 more days by himself alone...as a goat.
He said he is interested in reverting to a simpler time and suggests that some people in the future could use technology and robotics to 'de-volve' instead of evolve (into cyborgs).
He also wrote and published a book about his experience titled Goatman | How I took a Holiday From being Human.

Swiss Alps
The Alpine region of Switzerland, conventionally referred to as the Swiss Alps (German: Schweizer Alpen, French: Alpes suisses, Italian: Alpi svizzere, Romansh: Alps svizras), represents a major natural feature of the country and is, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss portion of the Jura Mountains, one of its three main physiographic regions. The Swiss Alps extend over both the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps, encompassing an area sometimes called Central Alps. While the northern ranges from the Bernese Alps to the Appenzell Alps are entirely in Switzerland, the southern ranges from the Mont Blanc massif to the Bernina massif are shared with other countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
The Swiss Alps comprise almost all the highest mountains of the Alps, such as Monte Rosa (4,634 m), the Dom (4,545 m), the Lyskamm (4,527 m), the Weisshorn (4,506 m) and the Matterhorn (4,478 m). The other following major summits can be found in List of mountains of Switzerland.

The Man
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
History
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

Ig Nobel Prize
The Ig Nobel Prizes is a parody of the Nobel Prizes and is given out in early October each year for ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.
The stated aim of the prizes is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think". The awards are sometimes veiled criticism (or gentle satire), but are also used to point out that even the most absurd-sounding avenues of research can yield useful knowledge. Organized by the scientific humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by a group that includes Nobel laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University's Sanders Theater, and they are followed by a set of public lectures by the winners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The name is a play on the words ignoble ("characterized by baseness, lowness, or meanness") and the Nobel Prize. The pronunciation used during the ceremony is /ˌɪɡnoʊˈbɛl/ IG-noh-BEL, not like the word "ignoble".
History
The first Ig Nobels were created in 1991 by Marc Abrahams, editor and co-founder of the Annals of Improbable Research, and the master of ceremonies at all subsequent awards ceremonies. Awards were presented at that time for discoveries "that cannot, or should not, be reproduced". Ten prizes are awarded each year in many categories, including the Nobel Prize categories of physics, chemistry, physiology/medicine, literature, and peace, but also other categories such as public health, engineering, biology, and interdisciplinary research. The Ig Nobel Prizes recognize genuine achievements, with the exception of three prizes awarded in the first year to fictitious scientists Josiah S. Carberry, Paul DeFanti, and Thomas Kyle.

In his quest for a simpler life, one man has transformed himself into a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow him to roam around on all fours. He’s studied their behaviour, learned their way of communicating and even attempted to create an artificial goat stomach to allow him to eat grass. His efforts, funded by the government, culminated in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a herd.

A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like. The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed. "I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be an animal for a bit, I want to take a holiday from being a human being.'" In a project supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global health foundation based in London, Thwaites spent nine months exploring the potential of becoming a goat, or as near to it as humanly possible. He looked at getting a fake stomach that would help him digest grass, but had to abandon the idea after being advised of likely health problems. Eager for insights into goats' non-vocal behaviour, he even underwent experiments which temporarily blocked his power of speech. The technique, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, entails holding an electromagnet close to a person's skull to disrupt neuron activity in the speech centre of the brain. Thwaites even dissected a goat at London's Royal Veterinary College before finally getting a taste of real goat life on a farm in the Swiss Alps. Living among the animals for three days, he trotted around on artificial limbs designed to mimic the movement of a goat. But life on all fours was not easy, he found. "The main difficulty is taking weight through your arms for an extended period of time… we are not built to do that," he said. "I found it so much easier going up as a goat than down… so I found myself high on the mountain in the middle of the herd and then this kind of event happened, where everyone goes silent. It was like that bit in a bar, in a Western (movie) or something." Thwaites hopes the project will fuel discussion about the challenges of adopting a different perspective on life. A book about his experiences- "Goat Man: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human"-will be published in April 2016. Thwaites had originally thought he would like to try life as an elephant. But he rejected the idea after deciding that they were too similar to humans as they "can get depressed and go mad."

Thomas Thwaites (Goat Man) - British man wins Ig Nobel award for living as a GOAT in the AlpsThomas Thwaites (Goat Man) - British man wins Ig Nobel award for living as a GOAT in the Alps
A British man who lived as a goat for three days is among the winners of this year's Ig Nobel prizes for scientific research. Thomas Thwaites designed prosthetic limbs that allowed him to walk on all fours and graze with goats on a farm in the Alps. He published his research in a book entitled GoatMan: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human and his work was recognised at the annual awards, parodying the Nobel Prizes, which are given out for the most unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. Mr Thwaites, wearing his prosthetic limbs, said the award was a "huge honour" as he collected the prize at a ceremony at Harvard University in the US. He said: "I got tired of all the worry and the pain of being a human and so I decided I would take a holiday from it all and become a goat." Mr Thwaites shared the biology prize with another British author, Charles Foster, who also spent time living as a variety of animals. His work, Being A Beast, saw him take on the perspective of a badger, an otter, a fox, a red deer and a swift. Mr Foster, a fellow at the University of Oxford, told the audience: "We have five glorious senses. Normally we use only one of them - vision. It's a very distorting lens because it's linked to our cognition. That means we get only about 20% of the information that we can squeeze out this extraordinary world. "Animals, by and large, do a good deal better. "In an attempt to see woods as the really are without that distorting lens of vision and cognition, I tried to follow five non-human species; badgers, foxes, otters, red deer and ridiculously swifts. "It increased my understanding of what their landscape is really like rather than landscapes coloured by our colonial impressions of what those landscapes should be like. "It also generated in me a good deal of empathy for these animals and we can do with a little more of that." Volkswagen also got an honourable mention, winning the chemistry prize for "solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromagnetically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested". The German car manufacturer was embroiled in a scandal after it emerged millions of its vehicles were fitted with software known as defeat devices to cheat emissions tests.

This is the man so intrigued by goats that he gave it all up to live with them in the mountains. Thomas Thwaites spent three days as part of a herd in the Swiss Alps while investigating goat behaviour. He used special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to move around on all fours easily. And the designer even considered having a fake stomach fitted to let him to eat grass, just like his four-legged friends. Mr Thwaites cloven-hooved sojourn was aimed at "taking a break from being a self-conscious being" He told Mashable: "My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future." Mr Thwaites is a British conceptual designer interested in how humans will use technology to fulfil their desires But being a goat wasn't a completely care-free existence. He told Motherboard: "I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometre or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust. "So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit. "But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying. Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock.".

Thomas Thwaites, 34-year-old man who resides in London is tired of being a human and decided to do some research on what it would be like to live as a goat by creating prosthetic limb attachments that made him exactly like a goat. He spent the past year developing, designing and building his prosthetic arm and leg attachments, going through many designs and concepts. After he was done, he transformed temporarily into a goat and traveled to the Alps to live with them for 3 days, and then spend 3 more days by himself alone...as a goat. He said he is interested in reverting to a simpler time and suggests that some people in the future could use technology and robotics to 'de-volve' instead of evolve (into cyborgs). He also wrote and published a book about his experience titled Goatman | How I took a Holiday From being Human.

Where contemporary Design is going to? To take a holiday from being human by becoming a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow you to roam around on all fours… The solution for depression. What if you could escape the pains of daily existence by transforming into a goat? That’s the question UK-based designer Thomas Thwaites asked himself while dog-sitting last year during an anxious period of underemployment. A blissfully sleeping dog, Noggin, inspired the idea. Unlike, say, self-help books or psychotherapy, this solution, he reasoned, would get at the root of all his problems: being human. -

A man made the decision to quit living as a human for a couple of days and be a goat. Conceptual designer Thomas Thwaites made the decision to spend 3 days in the Alps, to understand how goats live, and research their behavior. He alleged: “My objective was to take a vacation from the pain and concern of being a self-conscious human, able to regret the past and be concerned about the future. I was ready to continue for perhaps a mile or so on this migration down the side of this sort of range of mountains, and then they left me. Therefore, I spent the rest of the day attempting to catch up to them and finally I stumbled onto them once more, and it was rather good, in the real soft grassy pasture bit. However, in fact, going down the mountain was bloodcurdling. Since if I felt I did not have any hands to prevent me from smacking a rock.”

Thomas Thwaites - The man who tried to live as a GOAT, living as part of a herd in the Swiss Alps
In his quest for a simpler life, one man has transformed himself into a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow him to roam around on all fours. He’s studied their behaviour, learned their way of communicating and even attempted to create an artificial goat stomach to allow him to eat grass. His efforts, funded by the government, culminated in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a herd. But why would anyone go to such lengths to be a goat? ‘I suppose it was because it could be fairly difficult, depressive and just stressful being a human being,’ Thwaites told DailyMail.com.

Man Gives Up Being Human to Live Like a GOAT
Thomas Thwaites, 34-year-old man who resides in London is tired of being a human and decided to do some research on what it would be like to live as a goat by creating prosthetic limb attachments that made him exactly like a goat. He spent the past year developing, designing and building his prosthetic arm and leg attachments, going through many designs and concepts. After he was done, he transformed temporarily into a goat and traveled to the Alps to live with them for 3 days, and then spend 3 more days by himself alone...as a goat. He said he is interested in reverting to a simpler time and suggests that some people in the future could use technology and robotics to 'de-volve' instead of evolve (into cyborgs). He also wrote and published a book about his experience titled Goatman | H...

Why I decided to give up my life in London and become a goat in Switzerland
Thomas Thwaites, a 35-year-old Londoner, wanted a simpler way of life So he got prosthetic 'goat legs' and lived as part of an Alpine herd He said: 'I suffered quite a lot as a goat...they didn't like me much' 'Goats live much more in the moment than we do,' said Thwaites When the rat race became too much for Thomas Thwaites he quit London and became a goat... in Switzerland. The 35-year-old spent a year creating prosthetic 'goat legs' that would allow him to roam the Alps comfortably on all fours and an artificial stomach that would enable him to blend in and 'eat grass'. Thwaites said: 'I suffered quite a lot as a goat, because of the slope I was constantly falling over, and of course I had to eat grass.

"Goat Man" Thomas Thwaites - I was fed up with life, so went and lived like a goat in Swiss Alps
A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like. The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed. "I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be...

Brit wins Ig Nobel Prize for impersonating a goat
A British researcher and designer has won a prize in this year's Ig Nobel spoof awards for his excellent work impersonating an Alpine goat. Thomas Thwaites had special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to walk like a goat, in order to mingle with a herd in Bannalp, Switzerland. In footage obtained by the Associated Press that was filmed one year ago, Thwaites is seen eating grass and failing to keep pace with his nimbler herd mates. … Let the pictures do the talking: subscribe to No Comment http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NoCommentTV No Comment is brought to you by euronews, the most watched news channel in Europe.

The Goat man.
Where contemporary Design is going to? To take a holiday from being human by becoming a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow you to roam around on all fours… The solution for depression. What if you could escape the pains of daily existence by transforming into a goat? That’s the question UK-based designer Thomas Thwaites asked himself while dog-sitting last year during an anxious period of underemployment. A blissfully sleeping dog, Noggin, inspired the idea. Unlike, say, self-help books or psychotherapy, this solution, he reasoned, would get at the root of all his problems: being human.

Man Gives Up Living Life As A Human To Be A Goat
A man made the decision to quit living as a human for a couple of days and be a goat. Conceptual designer Thomas Thwaites made the decision to spend 3 days in the Alps, to understand how goats live, and research their behavior. He alleged: “My objective was to take a vacation from the pain and concern of being a self-conscious human, able to regret the past and be concerned about the future. I was ready to continue for perhaps a mile or so on this migration down the side of this sort of range of mountains, and then they left me. Therefore, I spent the rest of the day attempting to catch up to them and finally I stumbled onto them once more, and it was rather good, in the real soft grassy pasture bit. However, in fact, going down the mountain was bloodcurdling. Since if I felt I did no...

In his quest for a simpler life, one man has transformed himself into a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow him to roam around on all fours. He’s studied their behaviour, learned their way of communicating and even attempted to create an artificial goat stomach to allow him to eat grass. His efforts, funded by the government, culminated in a three day trip to the Swiss Alps, where he lived as a goat, roaming the hills with a herd.
But why would anyone go to such lengths to be a goat? ‘I suppose it was because it could be fairly difficult, depressive and just stressful being a human being,’ Thwaites told DailyMail.com. Thwaites, who is interested in transhumanism, believes not everyone will want to become a cyborg in the future. Biorobotics, he told Motherboard, could be used by people to de-volve instead of evolve. ‘I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.’
The researcher set himself a goal of crossing the Swiss Alps and, and on his way, managed to convince a goat farmer to let him live with his herd. He also convinced Dr Glyn Heath, a former zoologist in Salford, to create the bizarre prosthetics. But living as a goat, Thwaites soon found, wasn’t as easy as he’d expected. The prosthetics were painful, the landscape was tough and Thwaites was constantly battling the cold. Those challenges, however, were nothing compared to the task of convincing the herd he was one of them.
‘It’s much easier to walk up on my prosthetic front legs. So I ended up quite high on a hill surrounded by goats,’ he recalls. ‘That was possibly a goat faux-pas, because it shows dominance by how high in the herd you are. ‘I looked up and all the other goats were looking at me. Everyone else had stopped chewing and it was in that moment, when I thought, “those horns look quite sharp”. ‘Luckily, I think I made a goat friend. He made a move, and it kind of diffused the situation.’
A farmer, whose herd was grazing nearby, witnessed the incident and told Thwaites he thought the goats had finally accepted him. After his three days living with the herd, Thwaites spent another three days as a goat living alone. ‘It was an interesting experience,’ he said. ‘I guess, I just think perhaps it would be nicer to live a simpler life.’ Thwaites plans to showcase photos of his project at London's Studio1.1 Gallery from September 3 to 17. He also has a book coming out in the spring, titled ‘GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.’

A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like.
The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed. "I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be an animal for a bit, I want to take a holiday from being a human being.'"
In a project supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global health foundation based in London, Thwaites spent nine months exploring the potential of becoming a goat, or as near to it as humanly possible. He looked at getting a fake stomach that would help him digest grass, but had to abandon the idea after being advised of likely health problems. Eager for insights into goats' non-vocal behaviour, he even underwent experiments which temporarily blocked his power of speech. The technique, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, entails holding an electromagnet close to a person's skull to disrupt neuron activity in the speech centre of the brain. Thwaites even dissected a goat at London's Royal Veterinary College before finally getting a taste of real goat life on a farm in the Swiss Alps.
Living among the animals for three days, he trotted around on artificial limbs designed to mimic the movement of a goat. But life on all fours was not easy, he found. "The main difficulty is taking weight through your arms for an extended period of time… we are not built to do that," he said. "I found it so much easier going up as a goat than down… so I found myself high on the mountain in the middle of the herd and then this kind of event happened, where everyone goes silent. It was like that bit in a bar, in a Western (movie) or something." Thwaites hopes the project will fuel discussion about the challenges of adopting a different perspective on life.
A book about his experiences- "Goat Man: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human"-will be published in April 2016. Thwaites had originally thought he would like to try life as an elephant. But he rejected the idea after deciding that they were too similar to humans as they "can get depressed and go mad."

A British man who lived as a goat for three days is among the winners of this year's Ig Nobel prizes for scientific research.
Thomas Thwaites designed prosthetic limbs that allowed him to walk on all fours and graze with goats on a farm in the Alps.
He published his research in a book entitled GoatMan: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human and his work was recognised at the annual awards, parodying the Nobel Prizes, which are given out for the most unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research.
Mr Thwaites, wearing his prosthetic limbs, said the award was a "huge honour" as he collected the prize at a ceremony at Harvard University in the US.
He said: "I got tired of all the worry and the pain of being a human and so I decided I would take a holiday from it all and become a goat."
Mr Thwaites shared the biology prize with another British author, Charles Foster, who also spent time living as a variety of animals.
His work, Being A Beast, saw him take on the perspective of a badger, an otter, a fox, a red deer and a swift.
Mr Foster, a fellow at the University of Oxford, told the audience: "We have five glorious senses. Normally we use only one of them - vision. It's a very distorting lens because it's linked to our cognition. That means we get only about 20% of the information that we can squeeze out this extraordinary world.
"Animals, by and large, do a good deal better.
"In an attempt to see woods as the really are without that distorting lens of vision and cognition, I tried to follow five non-human species; badgers, foxes, otters, red deer and ridiculously swifts.
"It increased my understanding of what their landscape is really like rather than landscapes coloured by our colonial impressions of what those landscapes should be like.
"It also generated in me a good deal of empathy for these animals and we can do with a little more of that."
Volkswagen also got an honourable mention, winning the chemistry prize for "solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromagnetically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested".
The German car manufacturer was embroiled in a scandal after it emerged millions of its vehicles were fitted with software known as defeat devices to cheat emissions tests.

Mr Thwaites shared the biology prize with another British author, Charles Foster, who also spent time living as a variety of animals.
His work, Being A Beast, saw him take on the perspective of a badger, an otter, a fox, a red deer and a swift.
Mr Foster, a fellow at the University of Oxford, told the audience: "We have five glorious senses. Normally we use only one of them - vision. It's a very distorting lens because it's linked to our cognition. That means we get only about 20% of the information that we can squeeze out this extraordinary world.
"Animals, by and large, do a good deal better.
"In an attempt to see woods as the really are without that distorting lens of vision and cognition, I tried to follow five non-human species; badgers, foxes, otters, red deer and ridiculously swifts.
"It increased my understanding of what their landscape is really like rather than landscapes coloured by our colonial impressions of what those landscapes should be like.
"It also generated in me a good deal of empathy for these animals and we can do with a little more of that."
Volkswagen also got an honourable mention, winning the chemistry prize for "solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromagnetically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested".
The German car manufacturer was embroiled in a scandal after it emerged millions of its vehicles were fitted with software known as defeat devices to cheat emissions tests.

This is the man so intrigued by goats that he gave it all up to live with them in the mountains. Thomas Thwaites spent three days as part of a herd in the Swiss Alps while investigating goat behaviour. He used special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to move around on all fours easily. And the designer even considered having a fake stomach fitted to let him to eat grass, just like his four-legged friends.
Mr Thwaites cloven-hooved sojourn was aimed at "taking a break from being a self-conscious being" He told Mashable: "My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future." Mr Thwaites is a British conceptual designer interested in how humans will use technology to fulfil their desires
But being a goat wasn't a completely care-free existence. He told Motherboard: "I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometre or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust. "So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit. "But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying. Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock.". Thwaites has written a book about his experiences, called ‘GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human’.

Thomas Thwaites, 34-year-old man who resides in London is tired of being a human and decided to do some research on what it would be like to live as a goat by creating prosthetic limb attachments that made him exactly like a goat.
He spent the past year developing, designing and building his prosthetic arm and leg attachments, going through many designs and concepts. After he was done, he transformed temporarily into a goat and traveled to the Alps to live with them for 3 days, and then spend 3 more days by himself alone...as a goat.
He said he is interested in reverting to a simpler time and suggests that some people in the future could use technology and robotics to 'de-volve' instead of evolve (into cyborgs).
He also wrote and published a book about his experience titled Goatman | How I took a Holiday From being Human.

'Goats live much more in the moment than we do,' said Thwaites
When the rat race became too much for Thomas Thwaites he quit London and became a goat... in Switzerland.
The 35-year-old spent a year creating prosthetic 'goat legs' that would allow him to roam the Alps comfortably on all fours and an artificial stomach that would enable him to blend in and 'eat grass'.
Thwaites said: 'I suffered quite a lot as a goat, because of the slope I was constantly falling over, and of course I had to eat grass.

A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites...
A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like. The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed.
"I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be an animal for a bit, I want to take a holiday from being a human being.'"
In a project supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global health foundation based in London, Thwaites spent nine months exploring the potential of becoming a goat, or as near to it as humanly possible. He looked at getting a fake stomach that would help him digest grass, but had to abandon the idea after being advised of likely health problems. Eager for insights into goats' non-vocal behaviour, he even underwent experiments which temporarily blocked his power of speech. The technique, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, entails holding an electromagnet close to a person's skull to disrupt neuron activity in the speech centre of the brain.
Thwaites even dissected a goat at London's Royal Veterinary College before finally getting a taste of real goat life on a farm in the Swiss Alps. Living among the animals for three days, he trotted around on artificial limbs designed to mimic the movement of a goat. But life on all fours was not easy, he found. "The main difficulty is taking weight through your arms for an extended period of time… we are not built to do that," he said. "I found it so much easier going up as a goat than down… so I found myself high on the mountain in the middle of the herd and then this kind of event happened, where everyone goes silent. It was like that bit in a bar, in a Western (movie) or something."
Thwaites hopes the project will fuel discussion about the challenges of adopting a different perspective on life. A book about his experiences- "Goat Man: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human"-will be published in April 2016. Thwaites had originally thought he would like to try life as an elephant. But he rejected the idea after deciding that they were too similar to humans as they "can get depressed and go mad."

A British man who wanted to "take a holiday from being human" is sharing his experiences after spending time in the Swiss Alps-living as a goat. Thomas Thwaites, a graphic artist from London, used specially made prosthetic limbs to enable him to walk on all fours and even underwent experimental neurological changes to make himself more goat-like. The goal was to see how the experience of being human could be transformed.
"I was kind of at a low ebb… depressed, a bit annoyed with all complexities of being a human and trying to make money," he told AFP, explaining why he embarked on the project. Inspiration struck when the 34 year old was looking after a relative's dog which looked "joyful, just happy being in the world," he said. "I thought, 'wouldn't that be a lovely feeling… I want to be an animal for a bit, I want to take a holiday from being a human being.'"
In a project supported by the Wellcome Trust, a global health foundation based in London, Thwaites spent nine months exploring the potential of becoming a goat, or as near to it as humanly possible. He looked at getting a fake stomach that would help him digest grass, but had to abandon the idea after being advised of likely health problems. Eager for insights into goats' non-vocal behaviour, he even underwent experiments which temporarily blocked his power of speech. The technique, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, entails holding an electromagnet close to a person's skull to disrupt neuron activity in the speech centre of the brain.
Thwaites even dissected a goat at London's Royal Veterinary College before finally getting a taste of real goat life on a farm in the Swiss Alps. Living among the animals for three days, he trotted around on artificial limbs designed to mimic the movement of a goat. But life on all fours was not easy, he found. "The main difficulty is taking weight through your arms for an extended period of time… we are not built to do that," he said. "I found it so much easier going up as a goat than down… so I found myself high on the mountain in the middle of the herd and then this kind of event happened, where everyone goes silent. It was like that bit in a bar, in a Western (movie) or something."
Thwaites hopes the project will fuel discussion about the challenges of adopting a different perspective on life. A book about his experiences- "Goat Man: How I Took A Holiday From Being Human"-will be published in April 2016. Thwaites had originally thought he would like to try life as an elephant. But he rejected the idea after deciding that they were too similar to humans as they "can get depressed and go mad."

A British researcher and designer has won a prize in this year's Ig Nobel spoof awards for his excellent work impersonating an Alpine goat.
Thomas Thwaites had special prosthetic limbs made to enable him to walk like a goat, in order to mingle with a herd in Bannalp, Switzerland.
In footage obtained by the Associated Press that was filmed one year ago, Thwaites is seen eating grass and failing to keep pace with his nimbler herd mates.

To take a holiday from being human by becoming a goat.
Thomas Thwaites, a 34-year-old researcher from London, has spent the past year creating prosthetics that allow you to roam around on all fours…
The solution for depression.
What if you could escape the pains of daily existence by transforming into a goat? That’s the question UK-based designer Thomas Thwaites asked himself while dog-sitting last year during an anxious period of underemployment. A blissfully sleeping dog, Noggin, inspired the idea. Unlike, say, self-help books or psychotherapy, this solution, he reasoned, would get at the root of all his problems: being human.

A man made the decision to quit living as a human for a couple of days and be a goat.
Conceptual designer Thomas Thwaites made the decision to spend 3 days in the Alps, to understand how goats live, and research their behavior.
He alleged: “My objective was to take a vacation from the pain and concern of being a self-conscious human, able to regret the past and be concerned about the future.
I was ready to continue for perhaps a mile or so on this migration down the side of this sort of range of mountains, and then they left me.
Therefore, I spent the rest of the day attempting to catch up to them and finally I stumbled onto them once more, and it was rather good, in the real soft grassy pasture bit.
However, in fact, going down the mountain was bloodcurdling. Since if I felt I did not have any hands to prevent me from smacking a rock.”

How far back do these tales go? Could the stories possibly be true? Does the Goatman exist, and if so, who or what is he? We take on the investigation by listening to the stories, looking at the evidence and looking for Goatman in person.

THE IMITATION OF CHRIST by Thomas A. Kempis - FULL AudioBook | GreatestAudioBooks.com - The Imitation of Christ (Latin: De Imitatione Christi) by Thomas à Kempis translated by Rev. William BENHAM (1831 - 1910) is a Catholic devotional book. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member.
The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ.
The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", "Directives for the Interior Life", "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament".
The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life.

THE IMITATION OF CHRIST by Thomas A. Kempis - FULL AudioBook | GreatestAudioBooks.com - The Imitation of Christ (Latin: De Imitatione Christi) by Thomas à Kempis translated by Rev. William BENHAM (1831 - 1910) is a Catholic devotional book. It was first composed in Latin ca.1418-1427. It is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement, of which Kempis was a member.
The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian work next to the Bible, and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic. Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650. Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ.
The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", "Directives for the Interior Life", "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament".
The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world, as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life.

The Imitation is perhaps the most widely read Christian devotional work next to the Bible,[2][4] and is regarded as a devotional and religious classic.[5] Its popularity was immediate, and it was printed 745 times before 1650.[6] Apart from the Bible, no book has been translated into more languages than the Imitation of Christ.
The text is divided into four books, which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", "Directives for the Interior Life", "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament".

http://scienceontop.com/245
The Ig Nobel Prizes honour achievements that first make us laugh, then make us think. We take a look at this year’s winners: from rats in pants to collecting flies!
REPRODUCTION PRIZE was posthumously awarded to Ahmed Shafik, from Egypt, "for studying the effects of wearing polyester, cotton, or wool trousers on the sex life of rats, and for conducting similar tests with human males".
ECONOMICS PRIZE went to two researchers from New Zealand and one from the UK "for assessing the perceived personalities of rocks, from a sales and marketing perspective".
PHYSICS PRIZE was presented to scientists from Hungary, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland "for discovering why white-haired horses are the most horsefly-proof horses, and for discovering why dragonflies are fatally attracted to black tombstones".
CHEMISTRY PRIZE was given to Volkswagen, "for solving the problem of excessive automobile pollution emissions by automatically, electromechanically producing fewer emissions whenever the cars are being tested".
PEACE PRIZE was given to a team from Canada and the USA "for their scholarly study called 'On the Reception and Detection of Pseudo-Profound Bullshit'".
MEDICINE PRIZE — five German scientists "for discovering that if you have an itch on the left side of your body, you can relieve it by looking into a mirror and scratching the right side of your body (and vice versa)".
PSYCHOLOGY PRIZE went to scientists from Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and the USA "for asking a thousand liars how often they lie, and for deciding whether to believe those answers".
BIOLOGY PRIZE was awarded jointly to: Charles Foster, for living in the wild as, at different times, a badger, an otter, a deer, a fox, and a bird; and to Thomas Thwaites, for creating prosthetic extensions of his limbs that allowed him to move in the manner of, and spend time roaming hills in the company of, goats.
LITERATURE PRIZE went to Fredrik Sjöberg, from Sweden, "for his three-volume autobiographical work about the pleasures of collecting flies that are dead, and flies that are not yet dead".
PERCEPTION PRIZE was picked up by Atsuki Higashiyama and Kohei Adachi, for investigating whether things look different when you bend over and view them between your legs.

Geronimo's Story of His Life FULL Audio Book by Geronimo - Autobiography Native American History - Geronimo "one who yawns"; June 16, 1829 -- February 17, 1909) was a prominent leader of the Bedonkohe Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars. "Geronimo" was the name given to him during a battle with Mexican soldiers. His Chiricahua name is often rendered as Goyathlay or Goyahkla in English.
After an attack by a company of Mexican soldiers killed his mother, wife and three children in 1858, Geronimo joined revenge attacks on the Mexicans. During his career as a war chief, he was notorious for consistently urging raids upon Mexican Provinces and their towns, and later against American locations across Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas.
In 1886 Geronimo surrendered to U.S. authorities after a lengthy pursuit. As a prisoner of war in old age he became a celebrity and appeared in fairs but was never allowed to return to the land of his birth. He later regretted his surrender and claimed the conditions he made had been ignored. Geronimo died in 1909 from complications of pneumonia at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

http://www.ted.com Days before this talk, journalist Naomi Klein was on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, looking at the catastrophic results of BP's risky pursuit of oil.
