Advisory

The Wisconsin State Dept of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears this summer.

They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly.

They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear.

People should be able to recognize the presence of bears in an area by their droppings:

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berry residue and possibly squirrel fur.

Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

Sooo funny! I did a double-take on the last line, and then I started laughing out loud. Lucky me I live alone or people would think I'm nuts. Smile

To think that small mutations like this is what produces more dominant species. I guess that is of course if there are no health problems associated with it. Though in our society muscular strength isn't overly beneficial, except in fields like sport, manual labour, etc so I guess there is a chance the boy won't find an appropriate female mate to help him spread his gene through the rest of society.

I have an online friend with Duchenne's, I think he might be quite interested in this development.



Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
