Sadly, this twit is inelligible because he survived - you have to remove yourself from the gene pool. Only one winner has survived that I'm aware of, that was because he lost his testicles thereby removing his ability to reproduce.
Taking on a bear - that must have been some serious stuff he was drinking, yet he was still able to climb into the pen.

Young Australians are very lucky that we don't have large mammals here.

Not necessarily. I have a mate who is entirely capable of believing he could pull off a stunt like that on the strength of three or four beers. He has the lowest threshold of drunkenness I've ever seen - and when he has reached it, he is a cheerful but reckless buffoon. We've had to restrain him from various stunts: jumping from bridges, climbing the outside of tall buildings etc, etc. The bloke is a pest! Fortunately, he is in absolute thrall to his wife (who is probably only slightly more than half his height and about one-third his weight) and she can curb his lunatic enthusiasms with one withering glance.

I seem to remember blokes trying to fight big buck Red Kangaroos some time about 30 or 40 years ago.

What was going through his mind? :confused:
That is really stupid thinking. :mad:
I am of course talking about the keeper who dragged the idiot clear of the bears. He could have left the idiot in the cage as a reward to the bears for doing us all a favour.

But what if the bears got sick from eating idiot? :confused:

Excellent point Cliff.
In that case the keeper should have been the recipient of Humane to Animals Award.

bears have been eating idiots for centuries, I dont think they are bored yet.. the modern day bear probably feels its revenge for his anscestors that are now rugs somewhere in English castles...

Zed,
Does this mean there are likely to be less idiots from regions where there are/were bears? Idiot ancestors eaten therefore no descendants.
Or does it mean there are only bears where there are idiots? No idiots = No food = No Bears
Perhaps an experiment should be conducted - Let some bears loose in Parliament House and lock the doors.

They tried that with hyenas and no politicians were harmed. The hyenas observed professional courtesy.

True, but apparently he's in a really bad way. So he could be a candidate .

Actually Alex, I think you'll find that, contrary to popular belief, there's some things that are too much for even a hyena to stomache. :D

I don't think anyone would fair much better with a ****** off Kangaroo. A disemboweling is just as effective as a swat in the head.
