Can you stand on the deck and push them up the mast with a sharp stick or do they only respond to extra pay?

Surveyors are scared of sticks

I would go easy on the surveyor.... some have been pushed too far and this might be the result of it. Yes,...... that are the remains of a Moose sticking out the end of the car.......

Re: Surveyors are scared of sticks

Sorry Rene, but i don't like that post. Looks like the occupants of that car would have been killed in that accident.

driver\'s ok

from what I understood this moorning was that the drivers is ok and fighting the rental company, cause in his humble opinion these kind of accidents are common in Finland. Since the driver is charged about 500 pounds, he's puttin' it in his costs declaration since it was a business trip. The other pictures were (indeed) to gross to (re)publish......

Err sorry Moose, but your wrong

err, Elk and Moose are two different beasts. Elk is like a Red Deer, a Moose is like a, err....................a Moose.
Incidentally, both can be found in Finland, and that looks more like Moose hooves to me.

Err, sorry but he\'s right!

From Collins English dictionary: Elk: A large deer...of N Europe and Asia, having flattened, palmate antlers, also occurs in North America , where is is called a moose.

The dictionary also lists moose with an identical description except with the words Elk and Moose transposed.

Oi, clear off. I am the Moose around here. According to a Moose book I have here (from Canada) there are no Moose in Europe, they are all Elk. However there are some Moose in Russia, perhaps this unfortunate wee Moosey was a little lost.

Re: Err sorry Moose, but your wrong

Errr... only because the Americans are confused. The Moose is a Moose and an Elk (as found in Europe) is a Moose too. In USA they call a Wapiti (which is what you are thinking of) an "elk", incorrectly.

American Mooses and European Elks have the same scientific name (which I do not recall).

(And despite many claims to the contrary, our Moose's feet are not back to front when he toddles across the bottom of his posts.)

Re: Moose/Elk.. poor beast.....

I think it might have been a moose indeed.

Moose or Elk.... still a shame, both are remarkable beasts

They both look identical down the telescopic sight of a high powered rifle! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

What a great forum. Not only funny and supportive, but highly educational on the diverse species we share our planet with.

Now - who can tell me what a kinkajoo is?
