Here's one in the "They Walk Among Us" category

I know that this one doesn't have anything to do with occupational safety, but it's just too good to keep to myself. I ran across an article from a newspaper in Lagos, Nigeria that reported that a car thief had "transformed himself into a goat." No kidding!

According to the newspaper "police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.

The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.

The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.

Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas."

What Next???
