I mentioned previously...

the polar bear problem at Nuremburg Zoo. It's a story not prepared to lie down. Hopes that Knut might mature into a pillar of respectable bear life were dashed when instead he became a raving psychopath and known to carry a gun. A spokesperson for Nuremburg Zoo was quoted as saying "Maybe it would have been better if his mudder had just gobbled him up like she did his brudder and sister, Wilfred and Wildreda. That was a messy business I know but then so is armed robbery." A spokesperson for the local bears said, "We tried to give the kid a break but he got with the wrong crowd. Stayed out late at night. Took drugs. Stole from shops. Some say he's the result of childhood trauma but we say the real cause was his mother being unable to count." A spokesperson for the local Education Department caught mid-croissant coughed, "Innumeracy amongst bears? Hey, what you supposed to do?"

oh dear, cute Knute a psychopath? Wonder how they came up with the analysis?

Not that I'd want to sit and watch television with him, mind, since all polar bears are a bit tightly wound.

Hayden,

I think it was the gun and t-shirt imprinted with "Fuck you, motherfuckers!". That gave them a clue to his psychopathy. That and the trail of bodies, well, bits of bodies.
