MISSOULA - Wildlife officials have captured a black bear that came knocking on the doors of the Missoula International Airport.
Airport Director Cris Jensen tells the Missoulian he hasn't heard all of the details yet, but as he understands it, the bear arrived early Wednesday morning.
A worker at the otherwise empty terminal turned off the automatic doors, but Jensen says that didn't stop the bear from running into the glass a couple of times to try to get in. He joked that maybe it "was looking to fly south for the winter, as to opposed to hibernating."
The bear eventually fled and scrambled up a tree in the rental car parking area, where Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials tranquilized it and removed it for relocation.
Weird. That airport isn't exactly in the middle of nowhere, either.

And, of course this ... "Hey ... you kids ... go play in the street!"

Fugitive planned Suicide by Bear A convicted killer who escaped from an Arizona prison had planned to overdose on heroin at Yellowstone National Park and let bears eat him, according to a sheriff's report.
I can't find a link to the story but 2 guys from this area were convicted of attempted murder a few years ago. They tied a guy up to a tree and covered him with bacon and peanut butter and left him there. They figured a bear would eventually come along and "take care of him." However, the intended victim ruined everything by refusing to stay tied-up long enough for a bear to eat him. Those guys must have watched too many of the old "Batman" TV shows when they were growing up.
Evil Genius: "I know! Instead of just shooting him now, let's set up an elaborate, slow death for him, then leave him by himself so he has a chance to escape!" Henchman: "Great idea, boss! I'll get the rope and peanut butter."
"Look, I've had a hard day terrorizing tourists. Just give me the dammed hamper."
I'd forgotten that in the UK a "hamper" is a wicker basket for carrying food; in the US it's a receptacle for dirty laundry. I guess a "hamper" is a wicker basket in general, since laundry hampers are often made of wicker as well.
*edit: oh...yeah, that's it:
1. a large basket or wickerwork receptacle, usually with a cover: picnic hamper; clothes hamper. 2. British . such a basket together with its contents, especially food.
