Long time readers know of my affection for any World's Largest attraction and I am always excited to hear of a new one. So you can imagine my pleasure at opening the following letter from the mailbag*
Dear Bean,
You may already know about this future wonder of architecture, but located in the north of Sweden, there is a giant moose being constructed, set to be finished in late 2009. It will be about 45 meters tall, which is much larger than a regular moose! This should prove to be very exciting for people that like the idea being inside of a moose, which I think describes you to a T. In any case, here's the Giant Moose website where you can watch the virtual video tour

P.S. Do you think the Trojans will fall for it again?
*You see, kids, before "email" and "computers" a man in a blue uniform who worked for the government used to come around to your house every day and deliver letters that were "handwritten" or typed on "paper." Many of these "mail carriers" transported the day's deliveries in something called a "mailbag."
I am glad you are blogging again Bean. Where else would I find awesome, random info such as this? - [ b ]

Thanks for the mailbag explanation. I had no idea "mail" without an "e" before it existed. And it used to be carried in a bag? They could pay people to do that kind of menial work? Geez. I'm glad we live in the United States, where such barbaric practices no longer exist.

I have visited Sweden many times for both business and pleasure and I have say it's one of Europe's most beautiful countries. I spent 6 months in a town called Norrkoping, about a 1.5 hour drive south of Stockholm, and really loved it.
When this is finished, I strongly suggest you go check it out Bean.
Heck, I may even go check the Moose out when I do my next Saab European Delivery.
