The Trojan Moose
But locals wonder: can we a fjord it?
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – With little else to attract tourists, promoters of two Swedish counties are pinning their hopes on a truly gargantuan wooden moose.
When completed, the 148-foot tall, 155-foot-long moose will have a restaurant in its belly, as well as a concert hall, conference rooms and a shop, according to Thorbjorn Holmlund, project coordinator and local tourism promoter.
The monument to the moose will be so big that its massive wooden hooves will be firmly planted in two different counties, Vasterbotten and Norrbotten, about 540 miles north of Stockholm.
Sounds like yet another brilliant publicly funded project.
Bork-bork-bork!

If you get taken there against your will, do you start to love it after a few days?
How soon until the “religion of peace” gets offended by this wooden moose for some ridiculous reason?
Why not try a holiday in Sweden this year?
See the lovely lakes
The wonderful telephone system
And many interesting furry animals
Including the majestic moose.
