This is the kind of story that you know can't be made up, it's just too bizarre. And it's in Norwegian
(http://www.nettavisen.no/innenriks/article1453635.ece) so I'll just have to take it at face value. Here's the basic rundown: The boy and his sister were taking a shortcut through the woods on the way home from school when they came upon a moose who got aggressive. The kid started shouting to distract the moose while his sister ran away and when faced with a very irate and very large mammal did what he had done many times before while playing his Hunter in World of Warcraft. He fell over and feigned death. Eventually the moose lost interest and toddled off. And now, I see the boy years from now telling this story:
A Møøse once bit my sister ...
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
Funniest thing though, when I ran the original story through the first online translator I found, the game was converted as "World shame Warcraft". I'm thinking that's more accurate than using "of".

If he were into Dungeons and Dragons, he would have been trampled trying to cast a spell.
Heh - wonder if feigning death can get me out of a boring afternoon meeting...
bttt
No. I’ve tried it.
If your boss is too high a level, he’ll resist it and continue the attack. It happens to me all the time.
Heh - wonder if feigning death can get me out of a boring afternoon meeting...
It’s working for me pretty often. Hahaha
(And feigning death in WOW can only be done by a Hunter! IIRC)
then again, I work for the government, so they aren’t too high level.
If he played Call of Duty he could have gunned that moose down and gotten some moose meat.
Screaming “Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins” and running around everyone doesn’t have the desired effect, either.
If you fall asleep, you mean? ;o)
Mebbe you’d better have one of those breathright nose strips so your snoring won’t drown out the speaker...just saying...
I have no rebound for the drool, however...
Tell them you're a drummer?
Durn! I was looking for Homer drooling but I couldn’t find it!
Whenever I fall asleep in an important public place, I always further embarrass myself by jerking violently and waking myself up, usually with my face stuck to my arm...again, the drool...
Thank you, HC. You’re a gentleman and a caller!
I meant to say ‘gentleman in a collar...’
Hey, I’ve got a 70 warrior that feigns death pretty good.
OK, he’s not feigning.

After knocking over two canned goods displays and a jerky consession Moose stumbbled out to the street where he was met by local sheriffs. A negotiator was brought in, the trouble?:
Apparently, Moose was distraught over a youtube video showing Ann Coulter pleading with the electorate to not vote for Fred Thompson. Addition ramblings revealed Moose was harboring anger over CNNs sham debate tactics and Republicans willingness to participate.
Police were able to end the standoff by playing dead. After a few minutes it began to snow, Moose became uninterested and was seen wandering off toward his home on near a fashionable cedar swamp.
LOL! That has got to be one of the weirdest headline I’ve seen in awhile. Actually I saw one about cows falling off 300-foot cliffs and smashing cars a few weeks ago, this takes second place.
