: ...and in walks old Mr, Thomas and Mr. Gorr, two knarly old business men,
: entrepeneurs in their youth, quietly discussing how to fit old Malcolm
: into his kayak casket, a Guillemot Great Auk design created by Nick Shade
: Mortokayak, Inc., a subsiduary of his own, Guillemot Kayaks.

: At 88 yrs of age, old man Malcolm finally got his Darwin Award while paddling
: through that narrow pass during rough weather. A rogue wave tumbled old
: man Malcolm over; he never came back up, he just rolled over to the other
: side of existence.

: That was a whole 27 years after young Mr. Pruden met his end, when a great
: Hudson Bay polar bear suddenly rose up like a great white to chew through
: the crunchy exterior of the VJ's cockpit to get at the yummy soft center.
: Mr Pruden was almost done paddling from the Alberta Rockies to Churchill.
: He was never heard from again but the bear was shot that winter by an
: Innuit during a hunt. They found Mr. Pruden's wallet in the bears stomach,
: still wrapped in the double ziplock baggies he stored them in. Apparently,
: so the story goes, there was also the skeleton of a hand gripping the
: bears gall bladder from the inside. It is said that when the bear attacked
: the VJ, Mr. Pruden apparently, by all accounts, must have put up quite a
: fight to stay alive. It is said that he invested so much of his spirit
: trying to stay alive that when the bear bit off his hand and he knew he
: was in for real trouble, his spirit invested its full strength in that
: hand and as it slid down the hungry bears throat, the hand grabbed for
: anything it could find that was vital to the bear's life and took a grip
: at last on the bears gall bladder. Apparently the bear was found to be
: gaunt from severe digestion problems, a symptom of a sick gall bladder.
: Well, that's how the story is told. It's up to you to believe what you
: want.

: George

I believe; hehehe
