STATS













--------------------------










It was a beautiful summer in Sweden, 
and all the Swedish cows were enjoying excellent grass crops.
 There was more than enough grass to go around, 
and all through the fjords and dells you could hear
 the cows moo-ing with happiness.

But some time in late July, there arrived a band of rough housing moose
who muscled the cows out of the way 
and began eating more grass than was seemingly possible.

Then, just when it looked like things couldn't get worse,
 the moose started to throw up all over the place,
 nauseated from their grassy feasting.

For the rest of the summer,
 the farmers could be heard complaining and singing,
The Hills Are Alive With the Sounds of Moose Sick.













Robin Hood and his merry men were in Sherwood Forest one night celebrating, and imbibing. 
They all became inebriated, and then Friar Tuck began to sing. 
He became louder with each drink. 
Robin Hood, fearing that the Sheriff of Nottingham might hear the band,
 dragged the Friar deep into the woods.
 He then tucked him into the river, but the song lingered on.
 The moral of the story:
 You can lead a drunk to water but you can't make him hoarse
