Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks ,
Alaska
"They were laying new power
cables which were strung on the
ground for miles. The moose are
rutting right now and very agitated.
He was thrashing around and got
his antlers stuck in the cables.
When the men (miles away) began
pulling the lines up with their big
equipment, the moose went up
with them. They noticed excess
tension in the lines and went
searching for the problem. He was
still alive when they lowered him to
the ground. He was a huge 60
inch bull and slightly peeved!"

Ain't that odd

WARSAW (Reuters) - It's official.
Postal delivery is as slow as snails, at
least in Poland.
An IT worker, after receiving a letter
on January 3 that was sent on
December 20 as priority mail,
calculated that a snail would have
made it even faster to his home than
the letter.
Daily Gazeta Wyborcza said Michal
Szybalski calculated that it took 294
hours for the letter to arrive at his
home. He also said the distance
between his home and the sender
was 11.1 kilometers.
Given the distance and the time, the
speed of the letter was 0.03775
kilometers per hour. Szybalski
calculated that a garden snail travels
at around 0.048 kilometers per hour.
