The Ultimate Threat Of Global Warming! FAT MOOSE!
A Norwegian researcher is predicting the ultimate calamity of calamities as a result of global warming. Ginormousy overweight moose will soon be rolling down the mountains of Norway crushing puny humans with abandon. All because they no longer have to eat sticks in the winter.
"If mild winters without snow continue, elk (known as moose in North America) will become fatter and fatter," a researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Nature Research, Erling Solberg, told daily Dagbladet.
"Usually in winter they eat branches, which are not very nutritious, but the lack of snow means elk are stuffing themselves on berries, especially blueberries," Solberg added.
"In winter elk lose weight but with these highly nutritious food sources available, they start the next season a great deal larger than they would do normally," Solberg said.
Soon large, spherical, brown-furred objects will be hurtling all over the Norwegian landscape. My god, this is worse than the impact of global warming on Swedish gingerbread houses, if that's possible! Fortunately, we here at Blue Crab Boulevard stand ready to help out the old country. Obviously, the new zeppelin shaped elk will no longer resemble the current profile used on Norwegian warning signs. Those currently look like this:
We are providing, gratis, a new and improved elk crossing warning sign. We call it the Solberg variant:
