| Moose caught 50' up in a power line - No S**t! |
| 2004-10-19 |
| It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a bull moose hanging by its antlers from an electrical power line in the middle of the Alaska wilderness. In one of those only-in-Alaska stories that will shock even the sourest of sourdoughs, a trophy-sized bull moose was accidentally strung up in a power line under construction to the Teck Pogo gold mine southeast of Fairbanks. The moose apparently got its antlers tangled in electrical wire before workers farther down the line pulled the line tight about two weeks ago. The moose was suspended 50 feet in the air when workers, recognizing something was wrong, backtracked and found it. |

| #9 Workers didn’t know the moose was tangled in the line until they tightened it and detected a problem. "Damn. Feels like there's a moose on the other end of this!" "Um, Jim..." |

| #5 Moose, bear and caribou go where they want to. The 141st meridian don't mean boo to them. [best tenor voice] Born free, as free as the wind blows The wire across the grass goes I'm up to great heights Live free but powerlines surround you The world still astounds you as you hang from a spar Stay free, where no walls divide you But watch out for cables That head for the stars Born free, and life is worth living But only worth living 'Cause you're born free |

| #4 Are they sure it wasn't an illegal alien moose, just in over America's unsecure border? |

| #1 "because they were worried the moose, already stressed, would die and the meat would not be salvageable as a result of the drugs." not real big on "catch & release" up north, are they |
