Of Mousse and Men...

It'll have to be a quick post tonight before the internet service goes AWOL again whilst ntl carry out local services and repairs. Never mind, I'm sure they'll reimburse us all for any downtime incurred.

The office talk this afternoon turned to a documentary someone had recently seen about mousse, or meesse, or mousses, well you know, those big caribou-esque creatures with antlers. The curiosity was that apparently when two mousse mousses meesse of them prepare to fight for dominance, they first assess their chances according to the size of their opponents antlers and if they are bigger than their own, they are less likely to go into battle.

Sounds reasonable enough. What we couldn't understand is how they can see how big their own antlers are...

That's easy. One of them takes a tape measure and when they are on Mousse Scout Camp, they sit up in the middle of the night, in their tents, measuring and comparing each others. I thought everyone would know that.
