I was expecting a Moose with a Noose!

A tragic end to a promising life. RIP, brave soul.

The Moose is loose

The moose [I]was[/I] on the loose

Hopefully they hold a road kill lottery. That's a lot of good damn meat.

There's a moose loose aboot the hoose.

What the fuck possesses a [I]moose[/I] to commit?

Imagine if it was one of those parasites that can control some of the brain functions of their hosts

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43728244]What the fuck possesses a [I]moose[/I] to commit?[/QUOTE] it probably failed at getting any during mating season. Or it broke up with Mrs. Moose :v:

The young perish, and the old linger :(

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43728244]What the fuck possesses a [I]moose[/I] to commit?[/QUOTE] It realized it wasn't Canadian.

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;43728251]Imagine if it was one of those parasites that can control some of the brain functions of their hosts[/QUOTE] and nobody would realize it because the fungus grew in the shape of the antlers

[QUOTE=dai;43728288]and nobody would realize it because the fungus grew in the shape of the antlers[/QUOTE] but then the real question would be: how did the moose come to lose its antlers in the first place?

I've not seen such bravery... :(

[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;43728305]but then the real question would be: how did the moose come to lose its antlers in the first place?[/QUOTE] as you can see in the photos, the fungus already got up and walked away so it once again has no antlers

Reminds me of this. [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/xcvz9j.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;43728251]Imagine if it was one of those parasites that can control some of the brain functions of their hosts[/QUOTE] They can only control brain functions in insects, haven't read anything about them being able to control larger animals, that would be fucking terrifying.

what a moostery [editline]30th January 2014[/editline] sorry i know that was lame

Look at the weather, he/she probably thought the sky was a continuation of the ground of something. DOn't laugh! this sucks, I feel bad. First the horses climbing house and mooses jumping off buildings, it's all cause we need to have LevELs, why can't we have flat buildings, or underground.

[QUOTE=dailymail.co.uk]At first it is able to stand, and even staggers forward for a couple of steps, before collapsing in the middle of the road.[/QUOTE] :( This is even more sad under the assumption that this wasn't suicide. I mean, do moose even do that?

He looks like Steve Buscemi

[QUOTE=Kljunas;43728431]He looks like Steve Buscemi[/QUOTE] r.i.p. in pieces steve mooscemi

[QUOTE=Necrotic Fever;43728322]I've not seen such bravery... :([/QUOTE] Aww come on dude, moose suicide is brutal.

Poor animal probably got so distressed up there.

[QUOTE=dailymail.co.uk]The elk was spotted looking [B]confused and distressed[/B] in a shopping centre car park in Borlange, Dalarna County, Sweden, before it leapt over a high railing on to the road below.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this sounds more like a situation of extreme confusion than anything. The only thing suggesting some kind of suicide in the traditional sense is the article title. Still pretty sad.

I've heard The Suicide Rate Is High In sweden, But Holy shit [editline]30th January 2014[/editline] Phone, what the fuck are you doing with those caps?

[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;43728348]They can only control brain functions in insects, haven't read anything about them being able to control larger animals, that would be fucking terrifying.[/QUOTE] there's a parasite called "toxoplasma gondii", that basically causes rodents to not fear larger predators like cats (to which the parasite intends to actually end up, they reproduce in the cat's intestines), and it's said some majority of humans have it (dormant) in their system. Theories say it's why some people are pre-dispositioned towards being cat people over dog cats are also the only species of animal to approach humans, technically domesticating [I]us[/I]. Once could argue the parasite is part of their master plans
