DARWIN AWARD CANDIDATE?
According to UK newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, Mr. Timothy Treadwell, the founder of the Grizzly People, (activists devoted to the preservation of wild grizzly bears and their habitat), has met an untimely, though not necessarily unexpected, end. Given that his most bear-friendly behavior was to sneak up on one and shout "I love you," it ws clearly only a matter of time before he discovered a very simple and obvious fact - the feeling was NOT reciprocal.

While traveling in Alaska and hanging out with his ursine homies, Treadwell trod poorly into the domain of a non-English-speaking bear; probably a French-Canadian quebecois on vacation. The stunningly stupid simpleton also took his girlfriend, Amie Hugenard, along with him, who, alas, suffered the same fate.

Pieces of Treadwell were found in a bear's food cache with enough bits left to enable park superintendent, Deb Liggett, to identify him.

According to one of his colleagues, Jewel Palovak, Treadwell had said in the past that he would be honored to end up in a pile of bear dung. Well, at least one of his life's ambitions was fulfilled. Palovak also said she thought "Timothy would say it's the culmination of his life's work."

No, in fact, Timothy would say absolutely nothing because he has been EATEN BY A FRICKIN' BEAR!! That's because bears are huge, powerful, sharp-clawed, many-toothed killing machines. They also have yet to board the vegan bandwagon and seem quite happy to eat raw idiots.

In life, sometimes the learning curve is not only steep, but when you get to the top, it plummets dramatically. Sadly for Timothy Treadwell, he has become another non-contributing member of the gene pool because of his lack of understanding.
