When Cute Polar Bears Grow Up

They become killing machines.

The zoo directors decided to let him live, however, and he went on to become a major attraction, pulling in £5million in revenue in a year.

But his days of being picked up and cuddled are long gone.

He is, after all, a wild animal and now not even the keeper who raised him by hand dares to get close.

Jeff Healey Has Died

This Canadian Blues Guitarist battled cancer since he was one year old. And he was still awesome.

Healey, 41, had lost his eyesight to a rare form of the disease, Retinoblastoma, at the age of one.

The musician had performed with such acclaimed guitar players as B. B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and George Harrison.

His full name was Norman Jeffrey Healey and he passed away Sunday in the city of his birth, Toronto, at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Healey first began playing guitar at the age of three and formed his first band while still a teenager, according to his website. He played with a very distinctive style, laying his guitar on his lap.

“Visually, Jeff was an intriguing player to watch, because he played guitar — by any conventional standard — all wrong, with it flat across his lap,” said Flohil. “But he was remarkable, a virtuoso player.”

One of his best-known songs, “Angel Eyes,” came from the Grammy-nominated album See the Light.

The Next Time You Go Out In A Canoe Or Kayak

Be sure a giant humpback whale isn’t nearby.

These extraordinary images show one couple calmly watching one of these giants of the sea as it raises its fin.

But when it suddenly slaps it down – sending a wall of spray towards them – they realise how vulnerable they are and think better of their proximity.

Digging in their paddles, they turn away. But the whale becomes increasingly boisterous, this time “breaching” the surface.

And Michael has some insightful analysis.

I’m not really qualified to understand a technical discussion of the finer points of the game, but Kevin seems to suggest that “offensive rebounds” were a factor. I think.

Well said.

The Next Time You See A Monkey On The Loose

Try not to let it bite you.

The pair started to run really, really fast .

“And we were like, running really fast down the sidewalk,” Aaron explained, “and and we were like, ahhhh! It was like, so freaky.”

“I thought it was a joke,” said Dorothy Trujillo, Aaron’s mother, “making it up because they have some imagination.”

So she had to see for herself.

“And I, uh, got a little bit closer, took pictures and it looked like it was going to go back in the house,” says Dorothy, “but then it turned around and charged me.”

It ended up biting her on the leg.

“It really hurt,” she said. “It just kind of grabbed me and wouldn’t let go and it looked pretty bad.”

The monkey bit two others before animal control officer Bryan Townsend showed up to capture him. He’s a pro with dogs, but a monkey? He’s never had that call before.

“As I walked up, the monkey was sitting on the front porch behind the screen door, looking at me,” Townsend says.

Nick Saban Respects Politicians

It seems he is trying to intimidate the mayor of Tuscaloosa, AL and have the police stop arresting his players.
And here is how the conversation happened, according to inside sources at Losers With Socks [WARNING: SATIRE ALERT!]

Here is an exclusive excerpt of Nick explaining how “it” really works in T-Town:

“Walt, We expect our players to play tough on the field…but off the field they need to play by the rules..isn’t that a double standard? Can’t we all just have fun and party without fear of losing our “jobs”. I mean come on…no ones perfect!! Great players should be able to play no matter what their criminal record. At Alabama, Coaches have no right to take away their God given gifts to be FOOTBALL PLAYERS!

Take D. J. Hall for example. Everyone knows our players are not that smart, and to deny them playing time is to deny them their future. DJ Hall, lost at least $700 a game (it ended up being a half cause we were losing to ULM) this year and last while being suspended.

These kids will have to work extra hard to get the boosters to notice them again. They have got babies to feed, Walt. That’s a freaking crying shame.

What you folks need to realize is that here in Tuscaloosa is that it don’t matter how we get there (to the national championship), it’s just that we get there! “
