PUNCHING death in the face.
A 22-year old woman from the
Alaskan city of Juneau had a near
brush with death this month,
after coming face to face with a
black bear, then punching it in
the face.
The woman, Brook Collins, was
in her backyard with her two
dogs, Fudge and Toki, when a
large black bear appeared and
snached up Fudge in its mouth.
Acting on instinct, the woman
rushed at the bear and punched
it in the nose.
The blow stunned the bear,
which in turn dropped its quarry
and allowed Collins and her
pooches to get to the safety of
her house.
“It was a stupid thing but I
couldn’t help it,” Collins said.
“I know you’re not supposed to
do that but I didn’t want my dog
to be killed,” she added.
PAINFUL hunt.
An English tattoo enthusiast is set to buy-out his local pharmacist’s supply of Bepanthen following a massive 24-hour tattooing session to create a “Where’s Wally” scene. The massive tattoo takes up the whole of John Mosley’s back, and features 150 characters, including Darth Vader, a man carrying a sabretooth tiger, a horse and chariot, and of course, Wally. Not just for fun, the tattoo helped Mosley raise UK£2,000 for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London. “It will be a talking point for years to come,” said Mosley. “People will look at my back and have fun searching around for Wally,” he added.
