More news from Norway, our allies in the war against terror.

My sister's dog bit a moose once.

My sister's dog bit a moose once.

[Petronski]

Twice, apparently.

what? no cheese?

[Billthedrill]

Well, if I had my swimming pool damaged by a panicked moose I'd be sure to sue the owner of the sausage-loving dog that caused it.

Now there's a sentence in the English language that I never thought I'd type.

Ping for the Norway ping list.



You know, I am getting deeply suspicious about any differences that appear, between the Norwegian-language news, and the news that is translated into English for the rest of us.

It appears that the news Norwegians read (in its original Norwegian) is much more interesting than the news the rest of us read (translated into English).

We get the moose-and-reindeer stories, while Norwegians (and those who can read Norwegian) get the good stories, as demonstrated by Kurt_Hectic earlier this morning (everyone was pinged on that one).

Sounds like we should be allowed to shoot any dog off a leash or without a collar. After all, feral dogs are dangerous.

[ClearCase_guy]

Norway is too dangerous.

Why not try a holiday in Sweden this year?

When hunting moose are outlawed, only moose hound owners who can't control their dogs will hunt moose.

They can have my moose-spooking sausage-loving dog when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

My dog would run through a brick wall to get to one of these:

And I won't even mention what happens if she thinks there might be a chance at getting a real piece of bacon.

"They can have my moose-spooking sausage-loving dog when they pry it from my cold dead hands."

LOL

[Petronski]

Woof! . . . er . . . ping.

Well sure, but Scooby is obviously a Great Dane, AKA Danish Boarhound, not a Moosehound.
Moosehounds and especialy Moosehead Hounds are dedicated.

Elg i bikkjeslagsmål

Med ei elgbikkje i hælene havnet den forfjamsede elgen i et utendørs svømmebasseng og gjorde skader for 50.000 kroner. Nå krever eieren av bassenget at hundeeieren betaler regningen.

Trolig er det første gang her i landet at en hundeeier blir holdt ansvarlig for skader en vill elg har forårsaket. Episoden skjedde under elgjakta i Bamble i Telemark i oktober 2003.

Under jakten til Ringsjø og Tegdal Jaktlag hadde ei elgbikkje fått snusen på elg og eieren greide ikke å kalle den tilbake. Da den ville elgen havnet i utendørsbassenget, prøvde bassengeieren å lokke elgbikkja inn i sin egen bil ved hjelp av pølser. Til slutt fant elgen det for godt å forlate bassenget. Da hadde den gjort skader for 50.000 kroner, melder NRK.

Når bassengeieren går rettens vei, krever han også at hundeeieren må betale saksomkostningene. Norges Jeger- og Fiskeforbund mener saken er av stor prinsipiell interesse.

NOW I know why Europe hates us.

[HairOfTheDog]

So simply saying "Nancy LEAVE IT" didn't work?

Ping!

I've noticed that too. If you're more into the numbers side of norwegian news the ssb is an exelent resource. They do have an english version, though I wouldn't consider it fluent.

Don't miss the statistics a-z on the left, the front page only gives you a narrow selection of surveys. There is also a selection of links on the right.

The ssb also links foreign sources of statistics:
