This is the kind of story that you know can't be made up, it's just too bizarre. And it's in Norwegian, so I'll just have to take it at face value. Here's the basic rundown: 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.

Can you image it? The boy utilized the skill learned form WoW: Feigned Death and the moose thought him dead, left. Is World of Warcraft not only a fun MMO, but also actually a life saver? lol.

You can read it for yourself, if you're a Norwegian speaker, read it: Norwegian News Report.
