Boy Saves Sister..with taunt
Written by Alex on Thursday, March 5th.
This is about 2 years old now, but its not everyday you see posts like these.
This 12 year-old Norwegian boy saved his sister and himself from a moose attack using skills he picked up in the online role playing game ‘World of Warcraft.’
Hans Jørgen Olsen and his sister got into a spot of trouble when they encroached on the territory of one of these antlered cold weather staples (otherwise known as a moose). When the beast went on the offensive, Hans knew the first thing he had to do was taunt it so that it would leave his sister alone and she could run to safety. “Taunting” is a move one uses in World of Warcraft to get monsters off of the less-well-armored team members.
Once he was a target, Hans remember another skill he’d picked up at level 30 in ‘World of Warcraft’ — he feigned death. The moose lost interest in the inanimate Hans and wandered off into the woods. When he was safely alone Hans ran back home to share his tale of video game-inspired survival.
Make fun of video games all you want, but if one can teach you a skill that saves your (and your sister’s) life, then we’d say that was a video game worth playing.

Were there witnesses to this event, if there weren’t then the kids were making it up to get their 15 minutes of fame?!
well id like believe it was real as if it wasn’t, im sure press would tear the kids apart with their clever questions
A Møøse once bit my sister …
I like moose because they are very interesting. I can’t believe a moose bit your sister Joel C., that’s scary.
Wow, nice story
I am glad the boy helped his sister like this and i would do the same but i would not pretend that i am dead since if the moose is still interested then you will be in a bigger trouble. 
Would be good if he becomes a good viking one day hehe
video or it didn’t happen.
lol, that would be pretty cool footage.
