Random Thought

I don’t get bears. They’re like these giant killing machines that can swipe your head off with a single blow, yet their diet consists mainly of berries and fish. That’s like driving a battlemech to the grocery store.

    Cute fuzzy giant killing machines.
    Bears were put here to protect us from monkeys. Think about it, how big is Canada’s monkey problem? It is almost nonexistent. Why? Bears! Canada has lots of them. Any country with bears has very little problem with monkeys.
    Countries that have gotten rid of their bears are overrun with monkeys i.e. Russia (thats why they drink) Do you think Boris Yeltzen could have done a better job if he could have stayed sober? Blame the monkeys.

    Unless they can get near enough to you to swipe your head off with a single blow; then their diet consists mainly of you.

  3. A forest ranger handout offered this advice on distinguishing between black and brown bears and how to deal with them.
    Wear bells so the bears can hear you coming before they see you. Carry pepper spray in case of a confrontation.
    Black bear poop may contain berry seeds and squirrel fur.
    Brown bear poop may contain bells and smell of pepper.

  4. As I recall, battlemechs are powered by fusion reactors, so very, very environmentally friendly. When you don’t use the flamethrower or LRM20 on the local solar plant or comstar station, that is.
    Lord, I haven’t used a lot of THOSE words in at least 15 years. Apart from the X-Box games (which were pretty good at the end – wonder why an XB360 game hasn’t come out that doesn’t suck yet?), I probably wouldn’t still have brain cells devoted to the difference between an Atlas and Jenner.

  5. A little bear story. it appears the Spanish when they first got here, found the bear a possible adversary for their beloved “el Toro” They managed to procure a live grizzly(don’t ask me how) and put it in the arena with a known killer bull. The bear rose up -the bull snorted and charged. When the bull reacher the grizzly, it merely swatted at it and broke its neck with one blow.
    That’s why to this day you don’t see any matadors fighting grizzlies.
    PS one tried it and the griz usedhis red cape for a after dinner knapkin.
    PPS the first part of this is true.
