News reaches us on this slowest of slow news days that Hans Jorgen Olsen, a twelve year old, Norwegian boy has saved his sister from a “threatening” moose after they mistakenly wandered in to moose territory during a trek through a forest.
“Hans, thinking quickly on his feet, implemented the skill he had learnt from World of Warcraft (a popular video game) and ‘taunted’ the animal to get its attention whilst his sister ran away,” reports ARY News.
“Once the moose had directed its attention towards Hans, the boy pulled another trick from his sleeve, that he had also learned from World of Warcraft. Feigning death, he slumped down onto the ground and the moose lost interest in him. As the moose wandered off, not interested in the ‘dead’ Hans, the boy got up and ran to his home.”
If you have used “video game skills” to escape a life-or-death situation involving a European mammal – perhaps you evaded a weasel by using stealth tactics from Metal Gear Solid – then get in touch with TSA, we’d love to hear from you.

UPDATE: It seems that we’re having such a slow news day that articles are travelling through rifts in time and this incident actually happened a while back, though the source Tuffcub used only reported it today. You know what they say, you moose you lose. [Blair]
