rick301 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1452932.html?menu=news.quirkies Door knocking bear Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door. They believe the 35-stone brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging a door to get it to open. Experts speculate the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the outcome, repeated the tactic. The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door. Mum Nevenka Loknar said: "We jumped out the window as he came in through the door and raided the kitchen the first time. "I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn't believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door. "The bear is so intelligent it's incredible. We've tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters."

Tommy-the-Greek Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 This reminds me of a story I heard about a Orangutan at the philly zoo. This ape could pick locks and open doors. He fashioned a piece of wire into a lock pick and would hide it in his mouth. He would pick his exhibit door lock and get out and let all of his buddy Orangs out of there enclosures. They were free and raising hell and he would go back to his cage and lock the door and sit there all content with himself. He got so good at playing this game of picking locks that the Philly area union of Locksmiths made him a honorary member.:laugh: I heard whenever they want to test a new exhibit to see if it was escape proof they would use a Orangutan. If they couldn't figure out how to escape it was escape proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE Skin Fan Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Originally posted by Cskin Do you also see dead people? :paranoid: Welcome!!!! Yes, well kinda, It's like this...I see groups of people...that are, I guess, not dead, but choking. You see, for the last three years, I've seen this group of people that acted like it could win a Super Bowl, got most of the way to the Super Bowl (they even made it to the Super Bowl one time...), but each time, I knew all along the way that they were choking...and each time, they lost. It's similar I suppose. :eaglesuck Thanks for the welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
