Thanks to @dazcush for alerting us to this bizarre story from the US, where ex-MLB baseball player Jose Canseco was pulled over by the police while carrying a pair of fainting goats wearing nappies in the back of his car.

Six time all star Canseco later offered a further explanation.

The 49-year-old had earlier revealed that he was heading to film a documentary about the goats.

Canseco's journey might have been longer than he expected however.
@JoseCanseco Oh shoot, if you are going to Egypt, you will have to take an airplane or a boat. You cannot actually drive to Egypt.

Any excuse to see those fainting goats in action.
