The zoo was afraid for the bears' safety and said no.. but that they could put the suit outside of the bears' cages.

The female grizzly hid from the suit. So then they took it to the male grizzly's cage.

The male grizzly, apparently, peeled the suit like a banana ... peed in it... and mounted it.

Doesn't bode well for a potential wearer of the suit :-}

Oh wait, Peter, not David, Lynch directing.]]>Jul 7th 2008 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/
Essentially, he got attacked by a bear once, then spent years of his life trying to build a bear-proof suit, then **going out to the bush every fall to try and get a bear to attack him while he is in the suit**. Thing is, he's so immobile when in the suit that he needs three or four guys to carry him out to the bear.

The movie follows Hurtubise around through bars and backyard welding shops for what seems like hours, then FINALLY they make the annual trip, find a grizzly, and haul him off to meet it, suit and all...and the bear just wanders off. Pathetic!]]>Jul 7th 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/Jul 7th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/You see He has a thing called "Fire-Paste". What Fire Paste (FP) does is to keep anything that its covered with from catching fire. This guy should be a multimillionaire by now? WTF? This guy's FP could save all of the homes and businesses of any summer fire stricken territory. The World over. The Bear suit would be a kick ass in the nuts Hallowe'en costume.

But yeah...the local nutjob.]]>Jul 7th 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/I really hope his design matures into something useful and he could profit from it. If that man has a wife then she is a real hero being there for him. ]]>Jul 8th 2008 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/07/original-project-grizzly-suit-being-auctioned-off/Jul 8th 2008 2:38AM
