A big silver moose. I repeat. A big silver moose. Located in Østerdalen, Norway.

Edit: I made it to Most Viral. Is that like the front page or what? The moose is now my favorite animal.

Edit 2 : I see the moose of glory on the FP. Send me anything. I have a very important deadline tomorrow and I am in dire need of procrastination.

Did you donate over 2000 hours to build it for your hometown?
