ARLINGTON, Va. — Could parachute-wearing bears sniff out Osama bin Laden? That’s one suggestion the Pentagon has received from someone who noted, quite correctly, that a bear’s sense of smell is much more powerful than a bloodhound’s. “Overnight, Parachute some bears into areas [bin Laden] might be,” the innovator wrote. “Attempt to train bears to [...]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Mostly because it’s a time for the family and it’s not overly commercialized. When Thanksgiving is approaching, you don’t have to worry about budgeting funds for gifts or credit card bills the following month.
