So, it's GrossOut Fryedaye, eh?

Recently saw a Nat Geo special on Grizzlies in Alaska, I think it was.  The
local expert said that 5 people there had been killed by bears, and 4 of
them were eaten.  He said that they mostly go for the extremeties and don't
necessarily kill before starting to devour.  So, cool, more time to talk to
God.

And vans?  The show's adventurer put himself and cameras into a van (not a
Vanagon) with food inside.  He was in a Lexan predator-proof box.  The bears
came in no time, busted through the front windows and climbed right in.
Totally trashed the interior.  But your upholstery might not be the biggest
worry at that point.

Old bear joke:
Two guys out hunting and one guy says, "What are you going to do if we see a
bear?"
Second guy says, "Run like heck".
First guy says, "But you can't outrun a bear".
Second guy says, "I know, I just have to outrun you".
