Here a Moose, there a Moose...

Flying moose lands on car's roof
'A leisurely Sunday drive came to an abrupt halt for a couple in southern Norway over the weekend, when a fully grown moose suddenly landed on the roof of their car. "We didn't even have time to think when there came this enormous thud," said a shaken Leo Henriksen after the bizarre incident. '

Drunken moose alert in southern Norway

"A warm summer has led to an unusual bounty from the region's fruit trees. The sudden and early snowfall has left some fruit under snowy cover, while still more remains on the branch. This fruit is fermenting, and also a readily available and tempting source of food for the region's moose."

Endangered moose
'This familiar Norwegian sight - a traffic sign showing a moose crossing -
has become a hot souvenir item for tourists willing to ignore the law.
"There are 500 moose signs stolen per year, many of them by Germans," Geir Ove Nordgård of the Public Roads Directorate told the newspaper.'

(a big thank you to Mr. Michael Schweppe of Polemics for pointing out this article, which led me to the other Norway related news.)

I had no idea Norway's moose population was so exciting.

In other Norwegian news, the U.N. has, for the fourth year straight, ranked Norway as the worlds best place to live, carelessly disregarding the imminent threat of drunken moose. I object. This threat should be dealt with in a serious way.
Also, I think people thinking of immigrating to Norway should also read this worrying Norwegian news story: Dog robs gas station.
