When Sheep Fly

Attention Ambien and Lunesta users: Envisioning fictional "counting sheep" may come in handy when you're trying to catch your Zzzs, but one trip to the Faroe Islands in the northeastern region of the Atlantic Ocean will likely put the old standby solution to the test.

That's because locals have taken to herding the sheep in mid-air, suspending them above the rough and often inaccessible terrain that makes it difficult for both shepherds to do their dirty work. Allegedly, the trouble is very much worth it, as the meat on the acrobatic woolly wonders is "better than any other in world."

So if the moment strikes when all you want to do is catch some shuteye but it just won't come, we know the perfect spot where you can literally lay back and count the sheep overhead, flying through the air... on a zip-line.
