Alright. Who Cut The Cheese?

   Well, not exactly "cut", and not just any old cheese either. A load of sweet goats milk cheese was being shipped in northern Norway recently, when the rig hauling it caught fire in a tunnel. And yes, the cheese is brown. On purpose. I've tried it, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't to my taste. But it is for a lot of Norwegians, where it's an essential part of the diet.
   Seems fire crews couldn't get into the 2.2 mile long tunnel in the Arctic due to gasses given off by the melting cheese. In fact, it took 4 days to put out the blaze. The truck was the only vehicle in the tunnel, which will be closed for a few weeks, at the time. The driver wasn't hurt.
   And it was quite a bit of cheese too. 27 TONS of the stuff to be exact.
   Fondue anyone? Maybe a huge cheeseburger?
   'Nuff said.
