Awww, bears! Do they go after the weak and slow moving?

the memo goes on to warn us that bears go after EVERYONE, basically. it does helpfully suggest that, when bears do try to eat us, we aim for their eyes with "anything close to hand, like rocks, sticks or binoculars". or the Big Red Plato would work, i'm thinking.

If I were going to list three things I would be likely to have close to hand when attacked by bears, I wouldn't immediately think "binoculars".

yes, 'binoculars' has caused quite a bit of puzzlement. i can only assume that the suggestions for How Not To Get Eaten By Angry Bears were lifted from a book or website designed for birdwatchers.

they're taking this bear threat seriously, though. there are flyers all over campus. flyers helpfully illustrated with clip-art pictures of OMG BEARS.
