Okay, a sweet moose story to start another lovely, harmonious day at Feelies! If you click on the link, there is a photo of the moose:

Shy moose given assertiveness training

A Dutch zoo has given a shy young moose assertiveness training to help him fit in with the herd.

Emmen Zoo recently bought Kenwood the moose from a zoo in Toronto, reports De Telegraaf.

But when he was put in the moose enclosure he was immediately bullied by a female called Winya.

"She's a real bitch," said biologist Agaath Kooi. "She ran after Kenwood and kicked and bit him wherever she could. And although Kenwood is much bigger than her, he let it all happen."

Kooi decided to take Kenwood out of the enclosure and put him in a barn with a big, friendly moose called Icmu to give him more self-confidence.

And, by the time Kenwood was ready to take his place again with the herd in the enclosure, he was a different moose.

Kooi added: "When Winya ran to him to give him a kick, he immediately kicked her back. Ever since Kenwood has gained respect from her."

Kenwood now runs around his field with his own harem of female moose and zoo staff are waiting to see which he decides to mate with.

What hospitals are we dropping huge bombs on?

I think current anti-war folks should consider that only a portion of Iraq has an "insurgency" - namely the Sunni Arab areas. There is no "insurgency" in the Kurdish areas nor in the Shiite areas - at least since al Sadr called off his rebellion. Sunni Arabs are only 20% of Iraq's population.

Why isn't there a Kurdish or Shiite "insurgency", who together make up about 80% of the country?

Rooster 'keeps coming back to chicken restaurant'

A rooster in America has found a new home that he keeps returning to - the foyer of a takeaway chicken restaurant.

Staff at the Chick-fil-A takeaway in Bluffton, South Carolina, say they first noticed the rooster strutting around the foyer last week and let it out - but it keeps coming back.

The Carolina Morning News says the restaurant, which invites customers to "Eat Mor Chicken" is now trying to decide what to feed the bird.

So far staff have fed it bread and biscuits. But it seems to want more.

Restaurant manager Carlton Beall said it would be 'gross' to feed him 'his own kind'.
