| They killed Rudolph!The bastards! COPENHAGEN, Denmark - The Danish Air Force said Thursday it paid 31,175 kroner ($5,032) in compensation to a part-time Santa Claus whose reindeer died of heart failure when two fighter jets roared over his farm. The animal, named Rudolf, was grazing peacefully at the central Denmark farm of Olavi Nikkanoff, when the screaming F-16 jets passed overhead at low altitude in February. A peacefully grazing reindeer and war mongering, American made F-16's killed him! Just killed him! I can see a poster about this in the next Copenhagen antiwar march I'll bet. The reindeer collapsed and died, leaving Nikkanoff with the prospect of only one animal pulling his sleigh next Christmas. He complained to the air force, which agreed to compensate him for the cost of the reindeer and veterinary expenses. Veterinary expenses? He's dead (Jim). How about backhoe expenses? "We got a letter from Santa complaining about his reindeer's death and looked into it seriously," said air force spokesman, Capt. Morten Jensen. The air force checked flight data and veterinary reports and concluded the planes likely caused the animal's death. "We're more than happy to pay if it means that children around the world will get their presents," Jensen said. Nikkanoff said he was satisfied with the compensation and would use it to buy a new reindeer before Christmas. See you next year, Olavvi. ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM... |

| #4 Doc, I see this: Caribou Medallions from Rankin Inlet, in a saskatoon berry glace de viande $26.75 and many many more who enjoy it. I last ate it here but a different reindeer/caribou offering is now on that menu. |
