Dial M for Moose......and ummm another M for murder









Sweden, a land of beautiful supermodels, elite hockey players, and meatballs. For hundreds of years Sweden has been a neutral country, not really having any beef with anybody; apparently, somebody forgot to tell this to the moose. While surfing the internetz last night, I stumbled across a news article about a women who was found dead in the woods somewhere in Stockholm, and after arresting the husband and detaining him for 10 days they found evidence that it may have in fact been a moose. It appears traces of hair and saliva were found on the woman, that shows she may have been attacked, but what reasons would the moose have for attacking the innocent woman. Maybe the moose, a known herbivore, acquired a sudden taste for meat, like a vegetarian sometime craves a hamburger, just to see what they are missing. Perhaps the moose was low on funds and decided to turn to a life of crime, and mugged the older woman, or perhaps, as a co-worker mentioned to me, perhaps the moose just couldn't listen to the woman anymore. Maybe he moose was framed, set up by a three-legged bear, forcing him to go on the run, as I never saw that the moose had been captured, so he must of escaped.

I'm not sure if Sweden has the death penalty, but I assume if it did, the moose would face the full force of it, coming in front of the dreaded Swedish Executioner, the man pictured in the upper left, thats right, the Swedish Chef. The moose facing a Dexter-like cleaving at the hands of the Chef could be just the proper punishment for his attack on the victim. I get the feeling this is not the last we have heard of this story, as let's face it, Law and Order is pretty much out of ideas, so I assume we will see it ripped from the headlines in future episodes. Most people may think that the moose is a docile animal, the mighty majestic ungalet of the forrest, but given the chance, a moose would take out you, and everyone you care about.
