having lived in maine for about 20 years, i would like to point out that this sort of thing isn’t terribly uncommon. the only surprising part is that the guy actually survived a crash with a moose. most of the time, when you run into a moose, you merely take the legs out and the entire body slides across the hood and comes through your windshield into your lap. moose are big. getting one on your lap isn’t safe at any speed.

and i’m not really sure what to make of where the article says “when a moose ran into his car”. i think they probably meant the other way around, although once, within the space of a month, my mother had 2 deer run into her car and dent the door panel (the car was even parked once, IIRC).

and hey, tad was from linneus.
