The wonk has to be the bear, surely?

But strangely, a wonk is:

  1. A student who studies excessively; a grind.
  2. One who studies an issue or a topic thoroughly or excessively: "leading a talkathon of policy wonks in a methodical effort to build consensus for his programs" Michael Kranish.

Nothing to do with Leiderhosen or bears.

hmm... I think something dodgy is going on

also look at this, under the heading "danger men" (nicely exciting) there is this horrible jumping man?? seems awfully tragic for the 5-10 year olds! LOL I mean... how did he get up there by accident?

I love "Man on the window ledge of a tall building in danger of falling". No, he's in danger of topping himself. He's an escaped convict with a hideous past and a conscience. Life just isn't worth living for Convict With A Conscience anymore, and the policeman is wasting his time.

I know!! and the look of horror on the poor man's face! And the sensible hair of the policeman!
