I was playing with Firefox 'stumble upon (SU)' and found this. Talk about being in the right place at the right time for some cool photos. Maybe this has been around since mid September, but I just saw it, and thought I would share it.

Unbelievable. It really jumped over the side out of fright and and used its claws to grab the side and hold on? huh I have no doubt that the bear was up there and stuck, really? It jumped over the side first? If so, amazing!

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
