Killer Teddy BearA teddy bear clogged a drain at a fish hatchery, thus blocking the flow of oxygen and suffocating thousands of trout.

Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the bear, dressed in yellow raincoat and hat, is believed to be the first stuffed toy to cause fatalities at the facility.

The deaths prompted Fawcett to release a written warning: "RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS into the fish hatchery water IS NOT PERMITTED."

Well now we know—and knowing's half the battle.
