BERLIN (Reuters) – A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.

German police said on Monday that after making his getaway from the Hell's Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a 5 km (3 miles) traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen, local police said. He then fled to his home nearby where he was apprehended by the police.

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.

The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.

"Suffering from depression"? I guess that's the current catch all explanation for weird behavior.

He's not stupid though, he executed the classic finger/puppy/bulldozer maneuver, detailed by Sun Tzu in "The Art of War".

*guffaw*

If the bikers had all been me, we'd've followed him all the way home out of sheer curiosity. "No, honest, officer. We wanted to see what would happen."
