I got bored while studying for exams, and I also couldn't stand
seeing those
black and tan click-hinges go to waste...

So this is the result:

This is funny, but for a very different reason. Up here in Northern
Ontario there's a guy who has spent most of his life making a bear-proof
suit. CBC did a documentary on him some time ago.

The best scene is the guy standing in the suit being hit by a large
poleaxe and not being hurt at all. The idea is that you can wear the
suit, crawl into the bear's den, take pictures (or get his phone number)
and then leave, unhurt.

It's so damn funny...here's a link to a site about him...I love Google!
