Oh, those crazy Swedes!

The latest news from the Evil Kingdom:

Pupils at a school in Sweden are being terrorised - by a drunken elk.

Police say the animal has probably been eating fermented apples in a garden, reports Sky News.

Jan Caiman, a police officer in Molndal, said: "That could be the problem. We could be dealing with a boozy elk."

Elk can weigh as much as 1,100 lb and personnel at the school described the erratic male as "completely mad".

The receptionist at the school, near Molndal, in the south of the country, told the Gothenburg Post: "The children are really scared."

Police have contacted hunters and said that if the animal does not sober up and calm down, it could be shot.

Fermented apples? What kind of apples trees do they have in Sweden? Why can't we import them here? I ought to ask the Sedinbots if they can nab me some.

Simple solution: Just shoot the damn thing, dissect it, cook it, and feed it to the kids. You'd teach them all about biology and cooking, and feed the kids all at the same time.

"The children are really scared."

... and I'm sure the receptionist is really tough when this guy comes around all liquored up.

And considering it's already marinated in alcohol, that should make for some damn good tasting meat.
