They don't tend to be ornery and foul-tempered.  :huh:
I'm talking about American bears, not their gay cousins to the North. -_-

You bring up a good point though... I have no idea how an Iranian bear might behave.  :huh:

That's what I was thinking. It may depend on the species though. Grizzlies and Polars tend to be more foul tempered that the black, and, from what I've heard, the alaskan brown. I don't know what species they'd have in Iran.

Heh. Wojtek. I've a Polish friend in Sweden by that name.
What is unfortunate though is that it is pronounced very very close to våldtäkt (rape)...Which goes down well with the ladies.

Anyway. On topic.

Quoteunsuspecting, peaceful Poles
LOL.
Sure, thats inter-war Poland alright. :rolleyes:

Quoteinternational military superpower
And that is really the USSR and Germany at the time :rolleyes:

This is a awesome story though...Red Alert 3 doesn't look so silly now. It demands a movie.

You have no idea how an American bear might behave, as Americans aren't noted for their knowledge of the natural world.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

The bear, being Polish, rushed to collaborate with the Germans and helped round up jews.

The bear was Iranian though. How could he help with the Holocaust if it never happened?

Yeah, I've always understood that you can "play dead" with the browns/grizzlies; but the black bears will mess you up, and you have to fight or die.

Just a subspecies of browns.

Pretty sure there is a difference, albeit not a great one, between "lower 48" brown bears, NA grizzly bears, and good 'ol Alaska Browns.
