Human vs bear intelligence

Compliments of Bruce Schneier...an interesting article about a bear problem in Yosemite National Park in the 1980's and the quest to build a garbage can that would deter bears and still be useful by people. The article contains one quote that is priceless. Quoting a park ranger..."There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.". Unfortunately, working in security...this is not hard to believe.

If you don't find the article interesting enough, then try reading the comments. Definitely entertaining.
