Odd. If you cut and paste the link, it works. If you click on it, it doesn't. Maybe it'll work <a href="http://www.kobtv.com/index.cfm?viewer=storyviewer&id=17037&cat=ABQMETRO">this way</a>. |

The links will work if you take the '&cat=HOME' off of the end of the url.

But they will work if you cut and paste the url into your browser. That site must have something set up to stop people linking directly to stories. |

They must have something set up like you said Alex. What is weird is I found these links on other sites which were linking to the stories. |

It's not the kob.com site. The link works fine in my first test in which I directly created the link myself. But in the second test, in which I just wrote out the url and relied on the site software to turn that url into a link, it doesn't work. So there must be some bug in how my site software turns urls into links. I think the ? and & are confusing it. |

Nope not a chupacabra, just an ordinary ocean skate in an odd place like New Mexico. |

Some people say that the chupacabra is real...
I found some pictures that might be from <a href="http://ufo.whipnet.org/digital.proof/whipnet_collection_5.html">Chupacabra attacks</a> |

Funny how words sound so much more intriguing in other languages--"chupacabra" is so much better than "goat sucker," no? |

I like "goat sucker," actually. Isn't it called 'chupacabra' because it's a mexican myth? |

I'm not sure where exactly the chupacabra comes from, but it does seem to occur most frequently in New World Hispanic cultures (for lack of a better term)--I've heard its origins claimed in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. Maybe a newspaper search would ferret out the true origin, but then again, it appears to have been somewhat widespread popular folklore before it was written about in the press, so... |

chupa is spanish for suck, as in chupa chups (those sweety lolly pop things) and I believe it is also a slang term for oral sex.
Maybe Cabra means Goat? |

Yep, according to freetranslation.com, cabra is Spanish for goat.

So technically it could be translated as 'Goat Blower', roughly equivalent to our famous 'sheepshagger' description of Welsh people and/or Derby County fans. |

That would be <i> literally</i> translated as 'suck goat'.
I would <i>technically </i> translate it as 'goat blower' if I wanted to shoe-in the bit about people from Derby being called 'sheepshaggers' into a thread about a decayed flat fish that looks a little like a mythical creature that attacks goats.
I would imagine most words that are used 'as is' in english are translated technically, such as Zeitgeist (literally <i>time ghost</i>, technically <i>spirit of the times</i>...) or cul-de-sac (which I think is translated <i>bottom of the bag</i> but is used in English as <i>dead-end</i>).
I was only being facetious, I didn't mean any offence! |

Cul-de-sac is actually quite vulgar if you translate it literally... |

Haha. Cul is a rather coarse term for--can I curse on this forum?--better not--one's posterior. It also means bottom in a non-anatomical way, and that's the way it's used in cul-de-sac--"bottom of the bag," a dead end. But it's still funny to snicker anyway whenever you hear anybody say cul-de-sac... |
