Australia - Boulder, Colorado calls and raises.

This is two blocks from my daughter's house.

Meh. A true drop bear would use the razor sharp claw on its pinkie to slice that thing into stir fry, while setting a whole new benchmark in nonchalance.

That article was filled with great ridiculous quotes.

"A bear falls from a tree after wildlife officers tranquilized a bear that climbed about 15 feet up a tree"- great captioning there.

Chestnutt realized she just had a brush with a black bear. "It was like, 'Excuse me, pardon me, coming through.' It was running full speed," she said. "I felt privileged to have the encounter."

"Now that it's knocked out, we should be able to pet it," said Josh B.

"I'm going to be late for class," said Kristina L., a CU freshman from New York who had never seen a live bear.

That first picture is an instant classic.

Strangely, the Rapture only applied to bears.

I can only hope the bear bounced off the trampoline and onto a police car just off camera in a Loony Toons fashion.

I love the "excuse me, pardon me" bit, but the speaker should feel privileged/relieved that the bear wasn't pissed off, really...

Also it's not ironic that it was near Bear creek, there's probably a reason why it got the name. Morons.

The entire article sounds like it was written by monkeys with typewriters and edited by a 2nd grader.

I'm afraid I must insist the photoshop experts get to work on this one right now. I want that bear image to appear in all kinds of settings. Tight-rope walking, reclining on a beach holding a drink, standing in between Danny Devito and The Governator...everywhere.

Now get busy!

That photo was too funny. I propose the title "vertigo bear".

I wish I had gotten to pet the bear!

"Wheeeeeeeeeee!", the bear was qouted whilst making its escape.

[Johnny L.A.]

The bear was struck by two cars and killed.

No, Johnny, no! I can't hear you. La la la *sniff* lalalala.

My brother in suburban NJ had a bear cub up in a tree four houses down from him. From the videos my nieces took, I think that with a just a little more chutzpah (or perhaps mom/dad not being there, since neither seems to lack that quality), they probably could've petted the darn thing.
