Angry Beaver Holds Latvian Man Hostage

We are all, will be, or have been Sergei.

Quote:
A rogue beaver struck terror into the heart of a man making his way home late at night in the Latvian city of Daugavpils, according to a local newspaper report picked up by Latvian Public Broadcasting.

The man, identified only as Sergei, says the beaver ran out of some bushes and suddenly bit him. He fell over as he tried to fight the rodent off and was bitten again as he tried to get up.

In what USA Today describes as a "Kafkian nightmare," Sergei phoned police as the beaver "held him hostage" and refused to let him get up, only to have his plea for help allegedly dismissed as a prank call...

Rest of story

I've been crossed by more than a few angry beavers. Never dealt with the eastern European variety, but I can tell you that jaded drunk Irish ones are more deadly than trying to suck start an 870 Express.

I was always a bit confused as to why they would call their kid the Beaver Cleaver - sounds like a bad porn nickname to me.
