This is the stupidest news story ever, but I feel I must share it with you, because it made me laff. A kid in Norway used skills he'd learned from World of Warcraft to save his sister from a rampaging moose.
Hans Jorgen Olsen, 12, and his sister were walking through the woods in the central Norwegian town of Leksvik, and a rampaging moose noticed them and attacked. Thinking quickly, Hans taunted the deadly animal to take its attention off his sister, then, he hit "feign death" and played dead. The moose then lost interest and went off to terrorize other Norwegian children.
"When you reach level 30, you learn a trick called the fake death. That's what I did - I pretended I was dead, and then the moose lost interest," Hans said. "It went really well."
Whether Hans was able to collect the deer's antlers and bring it back to the quest giver is unknown.
I'm not sure this story is even true -- I mean, it's just an internet news report -- but it cracked me up, and I hope it will make your morning a bit brighter as well.

The opening sentence (up to the first comma) is absolutely 110% fact.

And to think, Hans John Olsen would be about 15 today (old story is old): http://www.wired.com/gamelife/ 2007/12/boy-survives-mo/

Few problems here. Sister needs to learn how to tank and hold aggro. Brother needs to wait 5-10 seconds before he starts dpsing so he doesnt pull aggro like that, thus forced to feign death. Lrn2plynubs

He should've hit it with a freezing trap so he could've called the police and gotten extra reputation with Norway so he can get his epic mount cheaper : /

I once beat up a bully in 3rd grade by targeting the glowing spots on his back. I only needed to restart once.

Oh I can't believe anyone hasn't posted this yet:
"A moose once bit my sister...
No really! She was carving her initials on the moose
with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian movies"
Random Monty Python quote, complete.

I bet they're gonna put that on the back of the boxes now like one of those quotes of how game the good is. "It saves children from rampaging moose!!!"
ZeroPlasmaPulse
Wow, hahahah. This is funny.
But hopefully he got the EXP for saving his sister.
electricsun
@ rayken15 very true but whatever he did he saved his sister. his sister was getting attacked. If it was one of my sisters I would have done anything to get the moose off my sister
Mystyr_E
what he didn't know was that 10 moose antlers and 5 skin hides were needed from a local craftsmen so he acted total n00b there
rayken15
Wow good thing he didn't try this with a rampaging bear (or other carnivorous creature)
