We also have a (drunken) moose problem in Norway ;-)

"...more than 100 people had worked for more than a month setting up the dominoes..."

Keith Olbermann reported last night that the bird flew in <i>through an open window</i>. If this is true, the real birdbrains were the domino-setters.

Okay, that does it! I'm calling KLM and cancelling my flight to Amsterdam for Christmas! Nasty Dutch people!

Is this the &quot;bird flew&quot; story that has been in all the news lately?

Actually, that one's almost 100 years old. During the 1918 epidemic, children chanted the following ditty:

I had a little bird
His name was &quot;Enza&quot;
I opened up the window
And in flew Enza.
