Boy Survives Moose Attack Thanks To World Of Warcraft

Here's one for you WoW fans

Quote:

Hans Jørgen Olsen, a 12-year-old Norwegian boy, recently survived a moose attack by feigning death, "just like you learn at level 30 in World of Warcraft."

In WoW, "feign death" is a skill acquired by hunters at level 30 that allows them to take a page from the possum playbook, collapse to the ground, and convince their enemies -- who lose all ingrained animosity in the process -- that they've died.

According to Norwegian site Nettavisen , Hans and his sister apparently enraged one of the local moose (mooses? meese?) during a walk in the forest near their home. After shouting at the gigantic creature to ward it away from his sister, Olsen dropped to the ground, and presumably his lifebar plummeted to zero.

Moose have never been known as the wisest creature in the forest, and the boy's show of necrosis seems to have worked, as both he and his sister survived intact.

It's easy to decry video games as a menace to society but in a world where MMOs save adorable, tow-headed Norwegian children from a deadly moose, can they really be that bad?

Great this is all that wow needs. Or should I say wifes and parents. More excusses to play games. J\K

Hmm, out of interest, how aggressive is your average moose? Never having met one, I wouldn't know (they aren't very common in south-east england)

A moose attack. This is the second time I've heard of one. The first one was in the intro of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
