Oh boy, my first essay. Well, here goes nothing.
Reason 1[edit]
People reading the site will have no idea what the joke is, and think the site is stupid.
Reason 2[edit]
Even this site's own editors don't get the goat joke.
Reason 3[edit]
It's just stupid.
Reason 4[edit]
Goats are irrelevant to most articles that have the goat joke.
Reason 5[edit]
It makes people think this site is immature, so they won't take us seriously.
Reason 6[edit]
People will actually have to make a real decision in the pointless poll in the Saloon bar page instead of just clicking whatever option has "goat" in it.
Reason 7[edit]
Pretty much all the goat jokes are stupid and not funny.
Reason 8[edit]
The joke is repetitive and annoying.
Reason 9[edit]
There are funnier inside jokes out there.
Reason 10[edit]
Surely there is a more science oriented inside joke out there?
Reason 11[edit]
Even 3.1415926 is a more interesting inside joke.
Reason 12[edit]
Editors use goat jokes in articles instead of actual content.
