Woman Survives Polar Bear Mauling at Berlin Zoo
By Nick Meo
The keepers' bravery was praised after they dragged the 32-year-old out of a moat for the animals. They had to shove the animal out of the way after one of four polar bears dived into the water and attacked her, inflicting serious bites to her legs and arms.
Police did not say why the woman jumped into the enclosure. She had to climb over a fence, a line of prickly hedges and a wall to get in.
She suffered serious injuries after being bitten on her arms and legs.
Last December a man who afterwards said he was "lonely" survived jumping into the same zoo enclosure when keepers diverted the bears with chunks of beef.
"The woman has proved herself to be careless by jumping into the enclosure," a police spokesman said afterwards. "Logic tells us that polar bears will do this type of thing in this situation."
-> This situation being that she jumped into a damn polar bear exhibit. <-

Couple Robbed At Gunpoint For Chicken
Robbers Point Gun, Demand Box Of Chicken
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The search is on for a team of crooks who robbed an Arlington couple at gunpoint for their takeout Popeye's chicken.
According to police, a young mother was leaving her shift after closing the Popeye's restaurant in Arlington on Atlantic Boulevard when she noticed she was being followed home.
Authorities said four men drove by several times in a burgundy Pontiac sedan yelling, "give us the chicken," at the woman and her boyfriend.
The couple ignored the men and continued walking back to their house, thinking the group was gone. However, the men in the car then started driving slowly toward the couple and turned off their headlights.
Police said one of the passengers got out of the car with a shotgun and yelled, "You know what time it is. Give it up." They said the man ordered the victim to put down the chicken, saying if she didn't she would be shot.
-> This does NOT help the stereo type. But I mean..It is Fried Chicken.
