A family of bears has spent at least three weeks living atop a cottonwood tree in northwestern Minnesota.
Workers in the area say that once in awhile the bears must climb down at night, because they`ve seen them climbing back up the tree in the morning.I think we all know where this is heading: Soon enough, bears will take to the skies, raining down their terrible vengeance upon all of us, but particularly those of us driving minivans. Now might be a good time to pray."We consulted several folks that we know that do bear research and they really hadn't heard of it.... Some of the explanations might be its out in a very unusual place for bears. Bears are forest creatures and this is a bear that's out in an agricultural dominated area, so it might only be able to find refuge in that spot."

Oh yeah? They're not bears! They're a jug band!

"Those of us driving minivans"? Is this a Cho thing?
This is Cho's van
Lord, please let the bears rain vengeance on Cho's van. Amen.
Hey hey hey, that family has a name asshole. Berenstain. AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.
Ok, this has been bugging me for a while and maybe it's already been addressed but I feel like it is the giant grizzly/polar bear hybrid in the room: Hasn't Stephen Colbert already well-mined the "bears are ferocious and hilarious and getting smarter all the time" comedy spot? For like the last four years? To the point that he's actually backed off of it?
It was funny then, and it’s funny now, but I just feel addled. ADDLED.
No.
Yes. I'm starting to feel this site is not making me smarter.
But it is making me hairier.
If it is an effort of subliminal coercive persuasion to influence my subconscious to desire a hairier partner, I believe it may be working!
Well, at least your big bush will mask your need for a radical labioplasty.
Maybe they're just looking for Daryl Hannah.
