There were news stories here in Boston all throughout the summer last year about a black bear being spotted on Cape Cod. That whole period was a lot of fun. The thing had to either walk across the bridge in the middle of the night or swim over. I'd love to be the guy driving across the bridge at 2 AM and doing the "what the hell was that" double take. As for the bear in NH this weekend, I think I just was lucky to be looking out the window at just the right time. It was more than likely just passing through. If it had any interest in the charcoal grill at all, it would have had to walk right up to the house. Now that would have really freaked out everyone.

I'm in New Hampshire for a family gathering with the soon to be inlaws. I walked into another room away from everyone and spotted a black bear in the backyard a out ten yards from the house. We had just grilled some burgers so I'm guessing that was what drew it in. They've lived here for about 25 years and they've never had one in their yard. It was pretty big too. I got a cell phone picture but unfortunately it doesn't do it justice. I've never seen a bear anywhere but the zoo, so this was a very interesting moment

Those math papers are thrilling. There aren't many places you can publish something without actually writing a single word other than the author list.

This is the kind of action we need for that other thread where we talk about how much we hate bikers.

It was being covered the very second I turned on my tv this morning on NBC.

Is that a younger bear? It might just be tough to tell from the perspective of the picture, but it is smaller than I expected. I'm not exactly familiar with black bears though.

Why did they do 101? Did they not like ending the list with the 3-way tie at 98?

I wonder how many people would even bother with that movie if it didn't have Brad Pitt. I see those trailers and it just looks stupid. It already sounds like the name association from those who read the book won't draw too many people in judging from Tom and Fez's comments.

Originally I wasn't expecting much from Man of Steel, but they've done a good job building up to it. Hopefully this one works out well.

I love that they actually have the Frying Dutchman neon sign.

I'm willing to guarantee they run one of their seasonal events in august when I'll be on my honeymoon. I'm obviously not touching my phone that week

The escalator is the only of those things that I have. I did wind up caving for jasper though. I still have 70 or so do its left.

Jasper? Damnit, I want him but I'm not burning my donuts.

Something seems off to me with her face in general. I can't figure out what it is.

Kirk would never be caught dead in a Canadiens hat (actually, he probably would, but damnit, he wouldn't be photographed in it)

Since they're generally viewed as the greatest of all time, overrated seems like a very likely option.

The idea that Pearl Jam was constantly trying to re-capture Ten is so far off. If anything, I would expect the public reaction to be the exact opposite, that they evolved too much. If anyone can listen to Ten and then listen to Backspacer (their most recent album which wasn't mentioned) and tell me that there is no progression there, they're crazy.

The having a baby one was only asked to half of the sample, so the numbers aren't going to match up. Anyway, I liked: -Doctor assisted suicide 45% -Suicide: 16%

The last time they did it it was 50% off. This one is only 25%. I guess they're trying to hold people's interest until the next event with a little offer like this one. Personally, I'm at a point where I'm not all that interested. I sign in, send everyone on 24 hour quests, then come back in a day or two.

I wish it was a package deal with buildings instead. I've got 172 donuts burning a hole in my pocket.

These aren't Make A Wish kids making these invitations anymore, are they?

All the way through high school I went to a dentist named Dr. Hertz. I never saw even one other patient in that office other than my parents and my brothers.

Unless you're trying to get the escalator, popsicle tower, and magnifying glass, money really shouldn't be an issue anymore. I haven't done any crazy money making schemes, but I still managed to buy the escalator and have maybe $1.5 million now. You should have so many buildings by the time you're level 29 anyway that you will generate a good chunk of change each time you play the game.

What exactly are they charging her with if the kid is 18?

Such a waste of Bruce Campbell.
