Bear With Me

So it's been awhile, but I'm back.

Did you see the news today? Oh boy. The Berlin Zoo may have to give up Knut, the polar bear. What will the Berliners do? And did I just call them jelly donuts? My German is not good. Or existent.

Anyway, two things about this that I found particularly funny.

First, bear keeper Heiner Kloes' quote in the story: "The survival of the species is more important than any individual. I won't hang on to Knut if it means keeping him with an old lady."

How many times have we heard that ladies?

Second, there was a story on msn.com earlier in the week along the lines of "How to tell the difference between a boy polar bear and a girl polar bear." I didn't read it, but it stuck with me.

So of course my first thought when I saw the Knut story today was that headline. My second thought was, look for his Knuts.
