    Cable guy finds sleeping bear in NJ basement

    HOPATCONG, N.J. (AP) — A cable TV repairman got quite a surprise when he walked into the basement of a New Jersey home.

    There was a 500-pound bear sound asleep on the floor.

    The bear had been spotted wandering in the neighborhood in Hopatcong earlier Wednesday. It's not clear how it got into the home.

    The bear ambled out of the house before state Fish and Game officials arrived.

    WNBC-TV in New York (http://bit.ly/rVbuTV ) reports the officials fired a tranquilizer dart at the animal, which walked a few blocks to the Missouri Trail before it was knocked out.

    Officials plan to relocate the bear.

    No one was injured.

      Bears are suppose to be hybernating this time of year, something must have happened to it's den, other wise it would be in it. Or the weather is too warm and it's confused.

      A bear and a bunny were walking through the woods. The bear turns to the bunny and asks "do you have problems with poop sticking to your fur?". The bunny says "no". So the bear picks up the bunny and wipes his behind with it. Now aren't you all glad commenting is back on.
