We have trouble believing this is for real, but take it for what it’s worth. The PBS News reports that in Iceland, local NIMBYs are opposing the construction of a highway so as not to disturb the homes of elves. See for yourself:

As far as we have been able to ascertain, no elf has been heard from directly. But give ’em time. Chances are that somewhere there is a federal judge ready to entertain a lawsuit on behalf of elves. After all, if trees can have standing (according to the late justice Douglas), then why not elves. After all, it should be easier for a lawyer to communicate with an elf concerning client intent, than with a tree.
