"Someone's Been Eating MY Porridge..."

And there he is! Bear Eats Oatmeal in Woman's Kitchen

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia - It was a real-life version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears - only in reverse - when a woman came home to find a young bear eating oatmeal in her kitchen.

The bear apparently entered through an open sliding glass door, broke a ceramic food container and started eating, West Vancouver police Sgt. Paul Skelton said.

The bear was allowed to finish his meal and then he left. I found the final paragraph interesting as well:

Skelton said bears in the suburbs north of Vancouver have been coming out of hibernation as hungry as ever but later than usual but this spring because of a heavier than normal snowpack from the winter. The report Thursday was one of six complaints police said they received about bears in the area that day.


Um... I thought Al Gore told us that we were all going to die from global warming. How can there be "heaver than normal snowpack" if global warming is actually occurring? Inquiring minds want to know.
