I heard about this.
Have you ever lost something and can't find it anywhere and then ask your spouse if they've seen it and her response is "If it was in your *** you'd know it."

Man claims attack by lion, saved by a bear

A Paradise man says he is lucky to be alive after an attack by a mountain lion Monday morning.
Robert Biggs, 69, often hikes in the Bean Soup Flat area, which is about a mile and a half above Whisky Flats. He came across a mother bear, a yearling and a newborn, which were about 40 feet from where he was standing.
After watching the bear family for a few minutes he decided to leave them be and turned to walk back up the trail. As he turned, a mountain lion pounced on him grabbing hold of his backpack with all four paws.
"They usually grab hold of your head with all four paws, but my backpack was up above my head and (the mountain lion) grabbed it instead," Biggs said. "It must have been stalking the little bear, but it was on me in seconds."
He wrestled with the cat, striking it in the head with a rock pick. The cat screamed when it was hit with the pick, but didn't let go, Biggs said. Before he knew it, the mother bear came from behind and pounced on the cat, tearing its grip from the backpack.
The bear and the cat battled for about 15 seconds, Biggs said, until the cat finally ran away. The bear went on its way as well. Biggs ended up with bite marks, scratches and bruises to his arm, but was otherwise uninjured.
Biggs, a naturist, has hiked that same trail several times and has seen the mother bear and its cub last spring and fall. He said the encounters with the bears were friendly. "(The cub) stood up on its hind legs and put its paws up and I
got to play patty-cake with it," he said.
The patty-cake game was simply touching the bottom of its paw with his open palm, more like a high-five. He said the mother watched the two play and her only reaction was to call the cub back. Biggs said he is certain that the mother that saved him during the mountain lion attack is the same bear he has seen in that area before.
"They're pretty territorial," he said, adding that he recognized some of the bear's markings. Though his arm was pretty cut up, he chose not to go to the doctor, a move that concerned his wife Suzanne.
"There were puncture wounds and skin was hanging off, and you don't know what's in their paws," she said.
Biggs said he wasn't worried because he had a tetanus shot a couple of years ago. Biggs simply put peroxide on his wounds and expects that will be enough.
As for lessons learned, Suzanne quipped, "He doesn't learn." Biggs just chuckled at the comment. The incident isn't going to stop him from enjoying the Ridge's wildlife.

Six-legged calf wins Swiss hearts
Seven-week-old cow with two extra limbs doing well despite vet's predictions that she would not survive
Thursday 29 March 2012
A six-legged calf has defied the odds by thriving despite a vet's prediction at birth that it would not survive.
Seven-week-old Lilli is a minor celebrity in her native Switzerland after local media were splashed with images of the calf frolicking in a sunny field.
Farmer Andreas Knutti from Weissenburg, 19 miles south of the capital, Bern, says he couldn't bring himself to euthanise the animal because she was "so full of life".
He told Swiss daily Blick on Thursday that a curve in her spine means that Lilli may never become a normal milk cow.
But Knutti says that if the calf stays healthy she will still be allowed to join the others when they head for alpine pastures this summer.

A Man Just Needs Some....
This is what happens when people live on the Internet and forget how to function outside in public. The outlook for our society's future is friggen sad.

Jebus!!
Its getting to the point where when I see zombie people walking/shopping etc. and texting I want to grab their device and throw it on the ground in front of them! 
Upon arrival in Singapore, Jetstar flight JQ57 had to abort its landing at a frightening 392 feet from the ground when the pilot plum forgot to put down the landing gear because he was distracted by his phone. A pilot! Operating a 220-passenger aircraft! It really sounds like a case of two idiots that shouldn't be operating vessels full of living, breathing humans.

Boring, Ore., pairs up with Dull, Scotland
The two have agreed to be sister communities - mostly for fun and publicity.
The Oregonian reports ( **************/ifHuGM ) the twinning was the idea of a tourist from Scotland, Elizabeth Leighton, who traveled earlier this year through the Clackamas County town named after homesteader William H. Boring.
A few emails later the two communities declared their sistership. Boring leaders plan to sell "Boring and Dull" T-shirts.
Boring has a population of 8,000. Dull has a population of 84 and a possibly Gaelic name from centuries ago.
