Germany is also facing a crisis of sorts. At this time of year when all the children are looking for Santa, Germany is having difficulties in finding them.

There is an acute shortage of Santas to entertain children at shopping centers, Christmas markets and private parties.

"Being Santa is not an easy job," Jens Wittenberger, in charge of Santa Claus recruitment at the Jobcafe Munich, told Reuters Monday. "To be honest, not many people have what it takes to be a good Father Christmas."

The job center wants its Santas to be child-friendly, good organizers, reliable and have acting skills. They also need a clean police record.

Looking for work in the Munich area then go see them.

Wanted: Cheerful, chubby men, preferably with fluffy white beards and no criminal record, ready to work hard for one month.

A short time ago I posted the results of a sex survey that was done in Japan. At the time it was discovered that married couples would rather not have any sex and there were numerous excuses as to why. No sex in Japan might explain this.
Handlers of a popular polar bear, brought to mate with a female in a zoo in northern Japan, found their breeding plan was doomed when they noticed that he, in fact, was a she.

Tsuyoshi, a four-year-old, 200 kg (441 lb) cream-colored polar bear, had been living in harmony with a female polar bear since June, the two often playing together, Masako Inoue, a zookeeper at the Kushiro Municipal Zoo, said on Wednesday.

We thought he was a male, so we never had any doubts as we took care of him

"But one day we realized that the two bears urinate in the same way, and we thought, is that how males do it? And once we started to look at things that way, we weren't quite so sure."


Sticking with bears, this story of a Panda and an idiot comes from China.
A panda at a zoo in southern China attacked a student who snuck into its pen hoping for a cuddle with the endangered bear.

The 20-year-old male student surnamed Liu jumped over the fence at the zoo in the tourist city of Guilin, ignoring warning signs not to, Xinhua news agency said.

"The panda, named Yangyang, was wide awake. Apparently scared by the intruder, he bit at Liu's arms and legs," it quoted an unnamed worker as saying after zoo keepers managed to calm the bear and rescue Liu, the report said.

Yangyang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him

Liu was quoted as saying from his hospital bed. "I didn't expect he would attack."

Duh! Can we agree that this guy is an idiot.
