Massachusetts DWR has good info on their website.  For starters, while female bears can get up to 400 lbs. the average size is only 140 lbs.  They also state there hasn't been a recorded black bear attack since the 1800s... though I have to wonder about that statement.  Here are their instructions on what to do if atta...more

Unless they can show that he set out to kill the bear the charges are bogus.  I wonder about the size of the bear quoted in this article.  I wouldn't have thought you could find a bear that big in Mass.  Regardless, even a black bear can kill a man.  For an "environmental officer" to claim off the cuff they think the b...more

When it comes to most things about life in the US the conspiracy theorists have it all wrong.  It's still a free country... except for flying, where everyone gets treated like a potential terrorist.  An air traveler from the 1950s would be horrified and think Aldous Huxley's novel had come to life seeing what we put up...more

This article has nothing to do with Obama.  FYI, the Federal government issues your social security number....  It doesn't come stamped on your behind when you're born.  Maybe you should be asking why a private institution needs your SSN for anything...  As for the government, since it's a government number they certai...more

I don't subscribe to the President's Twitter feed, however I don't find the photo offensive at all.  Putting yourself in someone elses shoes, if even for only a moment, is the best way to gain an understanding of them.  The President of the United States traveled to this location and took the time to sit there and refl...more

Once they discover where the unicorn herd is hiding the people will have plenty to eat.  They just need to round up some virgins as bait.
