Moose vandalizes Norwegian School

An angry moose, probably upset by its own reflection, smashed through the glass doors of a Norwegian school. When students at the Risil secondary school in Vestby, southeast of Oslo, found broken glass next morning, security cameras showed the perpetrator was not a delinquent teenager. “The janitor looked through the surveillance tape, hoping to identify the thug who did this, but was shocked when he saw that the damage was done by a moose and her two calves,” school principal SolveigEid told Reuters. Eid believes the moose must have seen her own reflection in the glass door and charged towards it. A Norwegian moose can be as tall as 1.8 meter and weigh as much as 400 kg.

Mysterious red postbox in the middle of a river Residents of a Berkshire town, England, are scratching their heads over the appearance of a Royal Mail letterbox - in the middle of the River Thames. An incredulous postman spotted the traditional box embedded into one of the buttresses of a brick bridge in the village of Sonning-on-Thames. As he didn’t have a boat handy, he took a photo from the riverbank to prove to his bosses just why he hadn’t been able to make this particular collection in his van. A spokesman for the Royal Mail, Val Bodden, said: ‘The recent appearance of a postbox frontage on the side of the river bridge at Sonning is a mystery to us and we have no knowledge of how it arrived at this location.’
