- FallenTurtles, on 02/18/2009, -0/+202Okay... "... fends off polar bear with a shove."
... and a gun. It's a fairly important part of the story. - Altair27, on 02/19/2009, -0/+80So, If I hit a velociraptor with a shovel, then blast its face with a powerful ray gun, I can abbreviate my story and claim that I fended off a velociraptor with a shovel?
- MrApocalypse, on 02/19/2009, -1/+72Digg title: Man shoots down helicopter with a spoon!
Real title: Man who was eating ice-cream with a spoon picks up rocket launcher and shoots down helicopter. - badqat, on 02/18/2009, -8/+73Wait...now I came to hear how he had successfully fended off the most endangered animal out there - I mean, the polar ice cap is gone, right - with a shovel. But he shot one? How dare he shoot a polar kitten like that!
- testore, on 02/19/2009, -2/+65Most important part omitted from the title. Buried.
- EthylAdded, on 02/19/2009, -1/+44Man fends off rabid tiger with garden trowel (and a gun).
Woman thwarts rogue elephant with handbag (and a gun).
Child repels Sudanese pirate attack with jump rope (and a gun). - FallenTurtles, on 02/18/2009, -1/+36Drat! There goes my smartass comment.
- Lucas123, on 02/18/2009, -1/+30I like to use a snow blower to fend of polar bears -- far less exertion.
- mushtakrakish, on 02/18/2009, -0/+27although in your defense, it would be far more impressive if he had fended off the bear with a shove...
- z00k, on 02/19/2009, -0/+26I'm pretty sure I could defend myself with a gun too.
- mushtakrakish, on 02/18/2009, -0/+25shovel* :D
- Slovenian6474, on 02/19/2009, -0/+24Man robs bank with an old shoe......and a gun.
- naspeeddemon, on 02/19/2009, -1/+24I feel tricked into reading this article. The Gun should be mentioned on the title.
- shig, on 02/19/2009, -1/+21dugg for polar kittens.
- serif69, on 02/19/2009, -0/+19I think you could abbreviate the story to "I Met a Velociraptor" and it would still be pretty newsworthy. The violence would just be icing on the cake.
- ventralnet, on 02/19/2009, -0/+16man fends of bear with shovel.............................................and a gun
- Jericho6, on 02/18/2009, -1/+16He's a godless killing machine, shovel him!
- WhoLikesNuts, on 02/19/2009, -0/+14Fending off a polar bear with just a shove would be MUCH more impressive than with a shovel.
- Forbiddendonut, on 02/19/2009, -1/+14"Then I come in and got the gun." Says enough about the guy.
- CoreyTamas, on 02/19/2009, -0/+13Given how Labrador is, his friends are probably making fun of him for needing the gun and the shove.
- Godlike, on 02/19/2009, -3/+14HE DIDN'T FEND OFF ***** WITH A SHOVEL. He made that thing a little more curious and that's IT.
You CAN'T fend off a polar bear with a shovel. I challenge you to try. If you actually made it feel pain it would rape your organs from the inside with it's massive claws... you guys really don't understand how big these ***** things are.
NO. NO NO NO NO NO. YOU CAN'T 'FEND OFF' a 900-1500 pound animal that can run 30-40 MPH with a shovel. It just kills you. You might as well walk up to a tank and smack the barrel with a shovel.
You CAN with a GUN which is what he DID.
THIS ARTICLE = FAIL - CoreyTamas, on 02/19/2009, -0/+11"Shovel"
I can't believe I just made the same spelling mistake I made fun of the other guy for. :) - BoneheadFarker, on 02/19/2009, -1/+11Nah...only in Newfoundland. The rest of us would have said "***** the dog" and grabbed the shotgun first.
- Archon810, on 02/19/2009, -0/+10Yeah, it's like saying, Diggers have more sex than anyone else and omitting "with themselves".
- inactive, on 02/19/2009, -0/+10Well, what other alternative did the guy have? The polar bear was attacking him...
- tgc1, on 02/19/2009, -1/+10Polar Kittens are always cute... until they rip your face off and eat you alive.
- Infowarsdotcom, on 02/19/2009, -0/+9Yeah...he fended off the bear with a shovel like the US used negotiations to get Japan to surrender in WW2...
- PDubNYC, on 02/19/2009, -0/+9well certainly that. As well as the fact that this is not even close to being MacGyver-esque. He didn't make anything out of discrete, ordinary items. Hell, he didn't make anything at all. He just started swinging a shovel around. Then got a gun.
- jonathanseely, on 02/18/2009, -6/+15Nice!
- EmperorChow, on 02/19/2009, -0/+9MAGGOT! If God had wanted you to live he would not have created me!
- inactive, on 02/19/2009, -0/+9This is Digg. A title has to be sensationalist and borderline inaccurate for it to be dugg.
- Ryan_KW, on 02/19/2009, -0/+8The guy is from Labrador. You've got a better chance of hearing "Eh" in Texas than in Labrador.
- PDubNYC, on 02/19/2009, -0/+8I can't believe you are being dugg up for several reasons
- evilregis, on 02/19/2009, -2/+10Don't ***** with Canadians!
- daschupa, on 02/19/2009, -3/+11I thought so too, until they showed the pictures of the attack.

Witness' artist description of the event. - GramarNazi, on 02/19/2009, -2/+10"Then I come in and got the gun."
Bad verb tense makes GramarNazi mad. - DoodleMaster, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7"Whas' wrong wit you I say you he dead?"
- MrAsparagus, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7YOU = WIN
- CalcProgrammer1, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7Are polar kittens like ...cations?
- mojoel, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7The poor bear just wanted some of his fish & brews!
- inactive, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7The spelling part?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver - N00F, on 02/19/2009, -0/+7"Then I come in and got the gun." A true Newfoundlander (well, Labradorian) This happened not far from where my family is from. North West River, WHOO!
- Nouman6, on 02/19/2009, -2/+9in other news: "PETA frowns against act, looks to settle in court."
- BoneStamp, on 02/19/2009, -0/+6Who said rednecks live in the south?
- CoreyTamas, on 02/19/2009, -0/+6"...and a gun!"
- ChonoonFiend, on 02/19/2009, -1/+7The feathers theory didn't come to surface until after the movie.
- themadrammer, on 08/18/2009, -1/+7"The feathers theory didn't come to surface until after the movie"
It's in the Book. The movie just didn't talk about it.
Oh, and Michael Crihton the author died last month. - luckyguy2000, on 02/19/2009, -0/+6i could fend off a whole army with a shovel...
...and a army twice as big as the other behind me. -
