| Spanish king denies shooting drunk bear MADRID, Spain - The king says it didn't happen. And the bear isn't around to talk about it anymore. A spokeswoman for Spanish King Juan Carlos said Thursday that Russian reports the 68-year-old monarch brought down a tamed and inebriated bear during a visit in August were "ridiculous." The palace confirmed the king, who is known to enjoy hunting, was in Russia at the time of the alleged shooting, but it says he didn't kill any bear, let alone one that was fed vodka-spiked honey. "He neither hunted with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin nor killed a bear," a spokeswoman for the palace told The Associated Press. |

| #7 So the king can't hunt a bear - B U T - its ok for Spainish to spear bulls to death (bullfighting) or run with the bulls down narrow streets where both can get hurt. Spain is seriously out of wack |

| #1 Isn't it usually the hunter who's drunk? And don't you think Russian bears would be able to hold their liquor better? |
