Insomniac Bears as Irritable as Insomniac Humans
In the interest of public safety and suitable provision of wild bear warnings, we bring you this important information from Russia. In southwest Siberia, global warming or some other quirk of the climate has given the region around Kemerovo an unusually long fall, and the bears who normally begin hibernating in October are still wandering around.
To date no tourists have been caught up in this bear frenzy, but locals are worried about possible attacks on hunters or crops. These insomniac bears are a bit unpredictable: just remember what you feel like when you stay up all night without sleeping, and multiply it by at least a month of waiting.
Seems like nowhere in Europe is safe for travel right now, with the drunken elks in Sweden and mad bears in Russia, and the ever present threat that Germany and Austria could expose another dangerous Bruno the Bear. And you thought terrorists were bad.
