You're right, bi-polar bear...

Bi.Polar.Bear, I was just glad you didn't CHOMP me.  :)

One of Central Park Zoo's polar bears was diagnosed as depressed, some 10 years ago.  Gus, the depressed bear.  Honestly, I am not making this up: he would apparently swim back-and-forth in the same pattern all day long.  They treated him by varying his day with interactive treats (a ball with a snack inside, etc.) and also made him an air-conditioned room where he could chill on his own.  One theory held that his being around the other, female bears might have been irritating him, as males in the wild are supposedly not used to being around females much of the time.

I found it all sincerely fascinating.

A caged animal that's depressed?  I can't imagine why that would be.  Animals are such jerks.

I'm a laid back, gentle giant.  I usually find myself getting high on eucalyptus leaves with the Kola Bears (marsupials) next door.  ;D

Yeah, the news coverage kinda glossed over that distinct possibility.  (As, I guess, I just did.)  But honestly, you are probably right, dude.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to leave my 7x9 cubicle momentarily to give myself a snack.  ;)

Agreed.  We are all caged.  Though some how I feel I digress....

Sometimes I feel like a rat in a cage, but that feeling passes when I remember that I am 976 lbs.

I totally bet you play WoW!
Grapes? I hate grapes, I can't stand grapes. I loathe grapes. All kinds of grapes. I hate green grapes and I hate purple grapes. I hate grapes with seeds, I hate grapes without seeds. I hate them peeled and nonpeeled. I hate them in bunches, one at a time and in small groups of twos and threes.
