    Bear Encounter[​IMG]

    A middle school teacher, from Missoula, Montana, USA, suffered bruising to his ribs, his ego and received large scratch on his back after he rode into a black bear while cycling to school earlier this week. Mr Jim Litz said he was travelling about 25 mph when he came upon a rise and spotted a black bear about 10 feet in front of him. He didn't have time to stop and drove into the animal.
    Will and Guy have learned that he then tumbled over the handlebars; whereby his helmet hit the bear's back and the two went cart wheeling down the road. The bear rolled over Litz's head, cracking his helmet, and scratching his back before quickly scarpering away up a hill above the road.
    Fortunately for Mr Litz, his wife drove by shortly after the crash and was able to take her husband to hospital. We believe that he will be able to return to teaching science at Target Range Middle School by the end of this week.

    Hilarious, luckily he lived or otherwise it would not be funny.

    As for the bear, poor thing. Not everyday someone runs into a bear, even less on a bicycle

    That sucks. I fail to see any humor in someone being attacked by a bear. The man's lucky to say he survived; few people that you hear about do.
