Just reading the news, apparently in southern Sweden a stray camel brought traffic to a halt in a snow storm. Now that i would like to have seen! Taken off ananova website.

yeah... it sure would have been a weird sight
here is the camel who is called Emat:
Translation from swedish newspapers:
The wind was howling and the snow was whirling around at Flakeberg outside Lidköping, and there was a camel standing next to route 47 looking at the traffic.
Peaceful and quite it stood there, maybe thinking about all the white things falling from the sky placing itself on the ground as sand dunes. The camel looked, and the people passing by looked. Someone called the police which at first was a bit sceptical at the camel, but once more people started calling about the camel they understood that something was wrong. Either it had been a big party nearby, or it really was a camel. Both alternatives made the police interested.
However, the camel owner managed to get the camel to follow back home to the farm before the police had to send out someone.

Hmmmm veeeery strange...
I thought camels didn't like the coldness in southern Sweden...
Anyway, soon I'll go down to the basement and give my camel food so I can get to work
