8/12/2005: Tightrope bear

I typed "rope strength" into Google and hit the first link to get the chart below. Keep in mind the safe working load is only 20% of the tensile strength but the bear isn't concerned with safe.
From the articles I've been seeing lately, bird feeders have become to bears what a box of chocolates is to the fat lady. They've really been tearing them up in the NorthEast US.
I've no way of knowing if the pictures are genuine but I know they are entirely possible and I've no reason to believe they are not.
