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.

thats downright scary... a "real" chupacabra?!
Im shuddering as I think that their are thing like that ALIVE somewhere.
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.
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.
