Yet another update from the Motherland: visit Russia and you will get eaten by humongous bears. This is precisely what happened to two very unlucky mine workers in Kamchatka, a region in Russia's far east. The news release begins with this highly disturbing sentence: "A pack of enormous bears searching for food killed and ate two men." Yummy! Vkusno! The poor gigantic bears were tired of borscht, apparently. (I don't blame them. That stuff sucks.)
This brings back many memories of hanging out by the Winter Palace only to see some joker walk by with a bear on a leash. I would always think.....not such a good idea. And now, voila! Apparently exercising some good judgment for once, the local men refuse to go to work at the mines now for fear that they too will be devoured by the pack of 30+ hungry bears. Needless to say, this puts the kibbosh once and for all on my husband's plans to go hunting for bear in Siberia with some of his friends.
What disturbs me even more, though, is how this story relates to the Minnesota Zoo's latest creation, which the imported husband and I went to visit just a week ago. Russia's Grizzly Coast - yes, and now to truly experience life in Kamchatka, one must step through the cage and be devoured by a gigantic bear. Prekrasno!
