Timothy Treadwell Attacked by Grizzly
This is long but well worth the read.

You remember the grizzly that attacked the "bear expert" and his girlfriend? Apparently, this guy used to "sing" to the bears while videotaping them. This article is halarious! And, really, it is the point. Sad to say, but it is.

Oh, and Walkindude, I research to learn what not to do. In this case, I learned not to sing "You Can Ring My Bell".

Outside mag published an article about the event. They also published the last letter he sent to his money friend that funded his "work". If you read the letter you'll gain a different perspective. He really believed in what he was doing. Right, wrong or indifferent I have a lot of respect for someone who truly loves what they are doing and truly believes in it.

A Guy Gets Eaten By A Bear....Now THAT'S Hilarious
Yeah...sure...the article was funny ONLY in the humorous way it was written. Isn't it great how someone can turn tragedy so we all can get a laugh...at the expense of someone's horrific death.

I was not celebrating this guys death. I was just sharing the article I found. It was not funny that the guy died, only funny in how the guy writing the article found the irony. And, yes, I read other articles on Timothy and know that he loved what he did, however, he was in most cases, too trusting and not properly prepared in Grizz Country. Other "experts" always told him he should have some sort of self-defense other than his video camera. Evidently, he did not take heed to what the other "experts" told him. As for the above article, what I found humorous was all the referencing to the singing and the songs.

If he would have been playing some Godsmack music the dude would probably still be alive. The bear probably got sick of his selection. I would have mauled him too.
