It's moose.

I saw a bunch of moose from the highway today.

Fact: In Maine I saw a Moose get t-boned by a Semi,
the Semi was destroyed and the Moose walked away.
found dead three days later from internal injuries.

Moost have been a pretty bad crash.

Last year, I was on a highway and a deer literally ran out from the grass on the side of the road and T-boned the car in front of me. The car did not hit the deer, the deer hit the car. Big ol' dent in the doors. Very ironic.

Talking about moose, a møøse once bit my sister.

But I know that the people were American

Fun fact nr. 531: deer don't have the proper brain capacity to know the velocity of things. That is why mom hit one with the car yesterday. Was only one of them small deer, though so no worries.

During insanely hot summers (like this one) train tracks get so hot that they expand and it gets all curvy. Sweden's railway system sucks! Last winter there were to much snow and ice, and now it is too hot.
