First a monkey/man, now a bear/man. India is being terrorized by strange mutated creatures. Anyone want to guess what the next spin of the genetic roulette wheel will bring?

So, if he makes himself invisible before he attacks, how do they know it looks like a bear? And how do you have a productive night watch for an invisible bear? Plus, if you see said invisible bear (?) and say, shine your flashlight on him his just going to disappear.

At least monkey man had a helmet.

I'm thinking this is all a ruse perpetuated by the tigers. They dress up in bear man costumes, and then turn invisible. The populace caught on to them when they were in monkey-suits. (which are actually nautical jackets.) Now they're in bear suits, because they cover more.

The tigers will next dress up as snake-men.

Being a Haruki Murakami fan, I have to cast my vote for The Sheep Man.

More importantly, would Ananova have any material at all if it wasn't for stories like this?

Particle man. Triangle man. Universe man. Perhaps person man. Take your pick. By the way, who came up with person man?

I'm waiting for one of the Bush daughters to go on a bender over there.

"Arrrggg!"
"Omigod, what is it?!"
"I don't know, but it keeps vying for my love and attention!"
"Ugh..... Is that malt liquor I smell?"
"Get it off me!"
"(sobbing) it's horrible! I pine for the calm reasonability of the BearMan!"



My last crappy Bush daughter remark, I promise.

My guess would be the four-armed elephant man.
