Berserk Beaver Bashes Bubbe
A Swedish grandmother (or 'bubbe' in Yiddish, which is very similar to Swedish except that all the words are different) has been savaged by a beaver while taking a nice, relaxing swim in a river. The beaver beat the bubbe with its behind. No, really.
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A grandmother taking a leisurely swim in a Swedish river ended up in the hospital after a beaver attacked her with its tail, regional newspaper Nerikes Allehanda reported Wednesday.
Police sources said it was the second time a beaver had attacked humans at the beach on the banks of the Bottenaa River, around 150 kilometres (93 miles) west of Stockholm, the newspaper reported.
"The beaver attacked the grandmother. She was seriously hit by the animal's tail and received a number of bites and scratches," an officer told the newspaper.
That is one mean beaver. Swedish authorities have finally noticed the ravaging rodents and have vowed to bring battle to the belligerent battle beavers of the Animal Uprising™.

I think the phrase “savaged by a beaver” should be used in all blog posts. I’ll see what I can do.

And obviously, The Belligerent Battle Beavers is an excellent name for a rock band (as Dave Barry would say!).
