I know this is off topic for a Tech blog, but it concerns Google, so please indulge me.

According to Google’s blog, they are using Goats to mow the grass at their Mountain View headquarters.  “A herder brings about 200 goats and they spend roughly a week with us at Google, eating the grass and fertilizing at the same time. The goats are herded with the help of Jen, a border collie. It costs us about the same as mowing, and goats are a lot cuter to watch than lawn mowers.”

The Goats are from California Grazing, who have  “800 environmentally friendly, self propelled weed eaters for weed control and brush control, that are ready for your project.”  

You can’t make this stuff up.
