First, some odds and ends…
While there are some general tips on dealing with a bear encounter (“alert the bear to your presence, get back, stay calm, and pay attention”), in the Poconos, Pennsylvania (supposedly), a guy named Mike (allegedly) ignored…well, all of those…with some surprising results…
In Copenhagen, Denmark, certain standards to be part of the (largely ceremonial) Danish Royal Life Guards have been lowered…literally…
