Preemptive Strike
Norway was the scene of a preemptive attack by the Moose legion of the Animal Uprising™ on Tuesday, the Aftenposten reports. In fact, they used those exact words.
A month before moose-hunting season kicks in, one of the so-called "kings of the forest" launched a coincidental pre-emptive attack, hitting man where it hurts the most and disrupting his tools of communication.
The moose apparently ravaged the outdoor box containing key switching equipment on Tuesday, cutting telecommunications service to thousands of people in the district of Sør-Helgeland.
All telecomminications were disrupted over a wide area. The switching station was quickly placed back in operation. But the paper makes not mention about what the cutting of the phone lines may have entailed. We all know, from watching movies and television, that when the phone lines get cut, something really bad happens. Like maybe infiltrating somewhere while the alarms are taken out? We suspect it may have something to do with this news out of Norway:
Norwegian princess's 'angel school' opens
OSLO (AFP) - A school newly created by Norway's Princess Maertha Louise for students who wish to "get in contact with (their) angels" was due to open on Thursday at an undisclosed location because of the clamour it has caused.
The project has been criticised in the Scandinavian country where some have called for the 35-year-old princess, a devotee of alternative therapies, to renounce her official title or even get medical help.
Maertha Louise, who claims she is clairvoyant, says the Astarte school will offer students the chance to get in contact with their angels, described as "forces that surround us and who are a resource and help in all the aspects of our lives."
The tuition fees amount to 12,000 kroner per semester (approximately 1,500 euros, 2,100 dollars) and the programme, which involves alternative therapies such as hands-on treatment and healing, lasts for three years.
If the undisclosed location of the "Angel School" happens to be in the Sør-Helgeland region, the princess might find herself getting in touch with a devil - one with antlers.

Ah, but it’s even more insidious than that. The word for “moose” in Norwegian is “elg.” A variation of “elk.” Thus the moose in Norway are… incognito. Very sinister.
