    So if they win this case does that mean that elves are proven as real?

    http://thedailyedge.thejournal.ie/iceland-road-elves-1236420-Dec2013/
    ICELANDIC AUTHORITIES have halted construction on a major road project to avoid affecting ‘hidden elves’ living in the country’s wilderness.
    The Friends of Lava group fear disturbing elf habitat and claim the area is particularly important because it contains an elf church.

    Stupid elves putting a stop to progress!

    “Some feel that the elf thing is a bit annoying,” said Magnason, adding that personally he was not sure they existed.

    However, he added, “I got married in a church with a god just as invisible as the elves, so what might seem irrational is actually quite common” with Icelanders.

    Do farmers here still have a supersitition about disturbing 'fairy rings' ? or are they given grants not to :)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Well, to the supernatural creatures to stop this effecting them would be a case of elf-defence.
