Worthy of Shakespeare

“North Carolina’s ram mascot – Rameses XVII, who was 8 – died from wounds he received after he was head-butted by another ram. The other ram? His son Pablo, who is 3. Infection set in after Rameses had a horn broken off in the collision. Pablo now takes on the name Rameses XVIII and succeeds his father as the Tar Heels’ mascot.” Per Rivals. Kill your father, get his title. Truly chilling. No word on whether Pablo/Rameses XVIII then went after his mother in one way or another.

I’m hoping to see these tags get plenty of use in future posts.
I noticed that when you click on the tags, it shows you other WordPress posts with those tags, which I didn’t realize, I figured it was intra-blog. So, if someone ever writes a blog about even-toed ungulates, their readers can find out about all the goings-on at the BLB. Whoa. The tubes, they are amazing.
