snarp"Apparently there is an old forgotten Danish law that nobody cared to remove, that says that if the Öresund sea freeze, and a Swede walks over to Denmark, Danes are allowed to hit him with sticks. The law doesn’t mention Norwegians, so they are free to visit."
"Even our nature is ridiculously safe. We have no nature catastrophes like hurricanes, earthquakes or big forest fires. No mountains to fall from. Our biggest predator is the fox, and our only poisonous snake is only sort of lethal if your old or sick. So when a moose swam from Sweden to Denmark, we freaked out! Because what if it stepped on someone!?"
If someone asked me to list Kentucky's primary natural dangers, I'd probably say deer in the road, copperheads, flash floods, getting lost in a cave, Gatewood Galbraith, and bobcats. That's in descending order of the physical threat that they tend to present.
