But that's another story.:eek:
I just read an article about aggressive male brown bears stalking and hunting people. It's a new thing that's been happening. One bear stalked a man for four hours before he attacked the man.Quote:

Has it been a particularly bad week for People vs
Animals???
The man was able to shoot the bear. Authorities said the bear would have killed and eaten the man. :eek:
Usually bears aren't nearly this aggressive so I'm sure it's something that will be looked into now that these killings have happened.
That happened to me about 6 yrs ago. I was camping at a Provincial campground that was more remote than others. At midnight I'm sitting by the fire waiting for it do go down before putting water on it. All of a sudden there was a loud bang from the end of my site driveway and a bear was trying to get into the garbage bin. As Richard said, my blood ran cold and I immediately started to put stuff away.Quote:

Figure this, instead of locking myself in the car, I waiting silently in my tent, listening to this bear walk through my campsite. I literally have never been that frightened before in my life or since. You know how that say you are "scared sh***less?" Well, sure enough a hour later I had to go.....in the dark.....all the way up to the outhouse......not knowing if the bear was around......:eek:
Lots of bear encounters here!
I've never met a bear in the wild, but I did once have an eagle land on my head. :eek:

hmmmmm,
that sounds like a great story...a bird in your bonnet.
BTW
the Chicago Cubs lost tonight and it was wonderful to see the CA
flag on the stage when Arnold made his acceptance speech....
what a thread this has turned out to be!!
Why does the bear always have to lose? They were in HIS territory. ARRGHHH.
On a lighter note, my science class (8th graders) took the duct tape story and ran with it. We were laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. I have some of the wittiest kids (who honestly would put most adults to shame).
Mugs, how on earth could you have explained The Duct Tape Story to your students and still maintain your authority? Uh oh, do they know about US :eek: ;)
Sorry to join this late but I do have the answer to this having had to remove it from just about everything (including Dustin). Duct tape loses it's sticky when submerged in water so all he had to do was lay in a tub for a while.Quote:

As for binding his wounds with duct tape, wouldn't that hurt getting the tape off?? Can you spell O-U-C-H?? I could hardly "bear" that much pain.:D :D
P.S. Let's keep this little story between us, Dustin gets too many wounds and is just goofy enough to try that on all his lil cuts.
Yes, my students know about US! They don't know the website, but they know about us. As for authority, I like to tell funny or amazing stories just to lighten things up. I would much rather have fun in my classes than just have to "teach."
I know I'm jumping in here late and I'm sure I'm missing alot of good dtories here, but I have to chime in that if it werenot for Duct tape, our Haunted House would not exist...what else would you hold walls and lights up with?
Keep stealing material...:pQuote:

I guess I could make the point that it's intellectual property........
Intellectual???
I don't think so....:rolleyes:
