(Newser) – What's the more jaw-dropping figure: that a drunk driver's blood alcohol level was 32 times the legal limit, or that said drunk driver was arrested with 15 sheep in his car? Both were true for one man arrested near Queenstown, South Africa, on Wednesday night. He had 15 sheep, allegedly plucked from nearby farms, five boys, and a woman in his Mercedes-Benz Vito when he was pulled over. His blood alcohol was at 1.6%, 32 times the .05% limit, reports News24.

Sheep, not stuck in a Mercedes.

All sheep puns aside, is it even POSSIBLE to have a blood alcohol level above 1%?? It is widely considered that any BAC above .4 results in death. So... 4 times THAT should = KO. Oh those South Africans!
