At times, writing the Lag can be difficult. Despite an entire site full of evidence to the contrary, I don’t just start typing about the first thing I run across. Sometimes it takes a while to find something that needs to be relayed to you.

Other times, it practically writes itself. Today is just such a day.

According to Razorwire, a young man in Norway saw his sister being threatened by a moose, and used the skills he learned while playing his hunter in World of Warcraft to save both her and himself.

The boy and his sister were taking a shortcut through the woods on the way home from school when they came upon a moose who got aggressive. The kid started shouting to distract the moose while his sister ran away and when faced with a very irate and very large mammal did what he had done many times before while playing his Hunter in World of Warcraft. He fell over and feigned death. Eventually the moose lost interest and toddled off.

That’s right. He used a taunt, then feigned death. Against a moose. And it worked.

I’ll bet you ten gold that, while telling this story in guild chat, someone asked him why he didn’t just let his pet hold aggro while they ran out of range, right before someone else asks if he got any cool loot.

I think we should all just be thankful that he wasn’t an EVE player…there’s nothing more embarrassing than having your tank break and being podded by a moose.
