I like living in Newfoundland, the weather is too bad for anything to survive. All we have is the occasional (frequent) accident on the highway from the moose running by. >_>

A BEAR? Holy crap, now I feel more justified in my avoidance of biking on the trail alone. How did you run in all this rain anyway?

(Reply) (Thread)

You could get a body wax and try not to wear leather into the woods. Oh, wait, wrong kind of bears.

Both of these animals can make it so you have no legs. Only one of them uses chemical warfare to make it happen.

I see bears a lot on the fringes of downtown Northampton, and the other day there was a bear right downtown! They "had to" kill it. :(

You can kill a laser guided space yeti on PCP with your bare hands, but you are worried about BEARS?

At least if worst comes to worst, you can engage in fisticuffs with the bear, the spider would just cheat and mummify your arms.

A bear ran into my uncle's car. It was parked, but the bear ran from the woods headlong into the side door.

That is one uncoordinated bear. Although, for fairness sake, I mysellf have run into parked cars. (I was learning how to ride a bike and it was at least 11 years ago).

But wouldn't it be awesome we all be eaten by bears if they did?

I ran into a bear in northern NH once. I screamed like a girl and it ran away. I hate to say it, but it'll be more scared of you than you are of it. At least in New England.

At least you can see bears before they attack you, unlike the vile brown recluse. Although I would still abvoid smearing yourself in jelly.

i still wanna know how you got that spider bite!

Wise move. You can shoot a bear with one of your guns. It's more tricky with a spider.

(Reply) (Thread)

You could throw the spider at the bear... while those two titans fight it out, you can escape to safety, brilliant!

BEARS WILL EAT YOU

When I still lived in CT, bears were around all the time tearing off our bird feeders and knocking down our garbage cans.

One time, I stood by the window as one was trying to get into the dog pen (where the feeders are) and started talking to it. When it ignored me I yelled at it. Then it turned around and stood up, which freaked me out enough to back off, even though I was inside. But it was pretty cool. I might've kept talking if I wasn't afraid it'd break a window, too.

"How does it work?"

"It doesn't, but you don't see any tigers around do you?"

"Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock."

If the bear is no more than a few levels higher than you, and you can survive taking damage from it for 20 seconds without anything distracting either of you, you can make the bear your pet.

Once you've tamed your pet, right click on its portrait to name it.

Well, I live about 20 minutes away from downtown Los Angeles, and this little guy was in my backyard last week, so there ya go. Even in the city, they wait, ready to knock your trashcans over...

I dunno... this kind of looks like the video footage of Bigfoot you're always seeing on Unsolved Mysetries or somesuch. Bears, bah, nothing but rainbows and pixie dust, I'm sure...

This one was shot in alaska by a US airman. Not the world's biggest, but darn big still. His paws are as wide as the hunter's chest.

As usual, snopes.com gets all the facts down before presenting the story. I still think he can HAVE his territory back...

Once when I was riding my bike in Kenora, Ontario. I was going down a hill and suddenly out of the forest... there was a bear and it clawed at me as I flew past it. I rode as fast as I could but thankfully... it did not follow me. O.O;;
