Swedes Thwart Burning Desire
Officials in Gavle, Sweden, are confident a 15 metre-high goat - a centuries-old yule symbol that preceded Santa Claus as the bringer of gifts to Swedish homes - is now vandal-proof. It has been burned down 22 times since it was first set up in 1966. For its 40th anniversary, it has been doused with flame-resistant chemicals and officials said ``not even napalm'' can destroy it. Security guards that guarded the goat in the past have been called off - and a 24-hour webcam has been set up to monitor the goat.
