Highly Intelligent
In preparing for a family trip to the Land of the Croats, I was drifitng around the net and found this. Now, every country is very proud of its geographical beauty and uniqueness. Intelligence is also highly prized and discussed, especially if your country is but a speck on the world's backside. How else do you explain the survival of a small country but for the wits of its inhabitants? Among the fabled geniuses of Croatia are Marco Polo (born on the island of Korcula), Nikola Tesla, and the guy who invented the tie (or kravat).
Now, it seems the native intelligence of the inhabitants is seeping down to other hairy mammals, specifically bears. Thanks to No Sheep for this story.
As Nevenka Loknar said in this story,
"The bear is so intelligent it's incredible." Well, maybe not incredible; we are talking about Croatia here, aren't we?

Tesla is a truly great claim. I actually always thought he was Belorussian for some reason. A truly strange and interesting individual, like Beethoven and Einstein all rolled into one - but one what?, as they say
