Elk Steals Bicycle, Eats Bushes.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3742957.stm

A hungry elk already known to raid rose bushes has stolen a bicycle from a garden in Sweden. Bjoern and Monica Helamb, of Vuoggatjalme, said the elk had regularly visited their garden to eat their roses over the last decade.

Fed up with the intrusion, and blooming destruction, the couple decided to take action. They placed a bicycle in front of the flowers as their front line of defence.

"We thought we would at least protect our favourite roses from her appetite by making it harder for her to get to them," Bojern Helamb told the Associated Press.

1. Think We Can Get A Tourist Visa?
I'm sure the elk would like to visit Washington D.C.

2. This is too rich!
"Bicycle" and "Bushes"? Can we come up with some jokes about this talented elk? Maybe we can put her to work here!

3. She was in Crawford this weekend. She sampled, but didn't like the menu.
Not a fan of chicken-fried bullshit, I guess.
