idol of the week: Manfred Woelfl

has anyone else noticed that there's been an awful lot of bear stories in the news recently? basically once or twice a week for the past month or so i've spied headlines about bears. in trees in NJ, fugitive Italian bears in Germany, pizzly bears in Canada, etcetc. not that bears aren't newsworthy - if there was a paper that only reported bear stories you know loveandcyanide would subscribe - but it's interesting how much attention the media is suddenly paying to our ursine friends. could it have something to do with the fact that one stuffed polar bear started blogging? we're just saying.

so the highlight of this most recent bear story - the only actual good part of the article, as it is otherwise quite sad - is a quote from a Hr. Manfred Woelfl, the Bavarian state government's bear specialist.

what a spectacular sounding title. how does one become the government's bear specialist?! sign us up!

I think you may have to wrestle a few bears while drunk on the dunkel and then use the power of your mind to get the same bears to do tricks.
