Green Bay So Excited about Playing Bears, They've Forgotten How to Spell

I'll be rooting for my hometown Packers this weekend when they take on the Bears (in another of my former cities), but I'm amused/embarrassed by the headline misspelling that's been ricochetting around the internet. The Green Bay Press-Gazette misspelled the name of the city they're taking on in the NFC championship. Way to go, Gazette. If you're going to make a big mistake, do it in the biggest typeface you've got.

As you can imagine, the Chicaco – I mean Chicago – press has been having a field day with this.

When Should You Be Scared to See a Polar Bear?


When it shows up in lands that have never seen a polar bear before, which means their Arctic home is increasingly inhospitable and they're going farther and farther afield looking for food and land.

That was the case with polar bears spotted by some local Siberians, who told a recent Commonwealth Club of California travelers group that they were seeing the polar bears where they've never seen them before. The photo above is from that same Club trip, though of different bears.
