Oh come on -- this is no way to start a weekend: a week after falling from a tree and becoming a meme, Falling Bear is dead after being hit by a car.

[via] Reddit tipped us to a news item about a bear which climbed up a tree near student housing at the University of Colorado Boulder last Thursday morning.

Bears, man.

Pictured above: a winner.

Turns out that we're even more boned than we thought, when it comes to bears.

Earlier this morning, I received my 1 billionth chain email from friends urging me to check out the Invisible Children video and to send it out to everyone I know, and the vein in my forehead started throbbing just a little harder than usual.

It wasn't enough for the bears to steal cars, play hockey, and do other awesome things, now they have also been observed using tools without any training.

Comic Sans and Papyrus.

It's a pretty slow day in TV news, so I'd like to turn your attention to the story that's all over the Internet today: the Zanesville, Ohio residence of Terry Thompson, who last night released dozens of exotic wild animals from the cages on his property and then shot himself.
