Why yes, officer, that is a wood-burning stove in my glove box.

It's hard to imagine what led Pascal Prokop to install a wood-burning stove in his 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon. Though we're safe to say that the trend won't catch like wildfire.

Wood burns in a stove as Pascal Prokop drives his 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon during cold winter weather on a road near the town of Mettmenstetten, south of Zurich on Thursday, Feb. 9.

Prokob built and installed the wood-fired stove himself and got an operating permit from the Swiss technical inspection authority.

A moose is seen stuck in an apple tree in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Sept. 6. The police believe the moose was trying to eat apples from the tree and became intoxicated by fermented apples. The moose was freed by police officers and after a doze on the lawn, he sobered up and returned to the woods.

msnbc.com reports:

An inebriated moose trying to get more fermenting apples apparently lost its balance and ended up stuck in an apple tree in Sweden, The Local website reported.

After returning home from work Tuesday evening, Per Johansson of Saro heard bellowing from his neighbor’s yard, The Local reported.

“I thought at first that someone was having a laugh. Then I went over to take a look and spotted a moose stuck in an apple tree with only one leg left on the ground,” Johansson told The Local. Continue reading.

The Bavarian cow named 'Yvonne' is caught on a pasture near Stefanskirchen, southern Germany, on September 2, 2011. Yvonne became famous after escaping from a farm in May 2011, going on the run and earning a hefty bounty on her head. Yvonne was found in Eigelsberg in the Bavarian Alps some nearly 4 miles from the farm where she escaped.

The dairy cow escaped in May and spent a few months on the lam, hiding in forests until she apparently got lonely and jumped a fence to join some fellow bovines on a farm. Today her owners came to round her up and take her home where she is slated to be slaughtered.

Reuters reported the cow didn't go willingly.

Capturing the cow was not easy -- she bucked in the air and required a double dose of tranquilizers when cornered in a field on Friday by a team accompanied by a vet with a blowgun. Now she is in a pen at Gut Aiderbichl.

Update: Yvonne was rescued by the Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuary, which bought her for €600 to prevent her slaughter and will live out her days there.
