ANCHORAGE, Alaska An Alaska woman had the scare of a lifetime when using an outhouse in the backcountry and she was attacked by a bear, from below.
I got out there and sat down on the toilet and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down, Shannon Stevens told The Associated Press on Thursday. I jumped up and I screamed when it happened.
Stevens, her brother Erik and his girlfriend had taken snowmobiles into the wilderness Feb. 13 to stay at his yurt, located about 20 miles northwest of Haines, in southeast Alaska.
Her brother heard the screaming and went out to the outhouse, about 150 feet away from the yurt. There, he found Shannon tending to her wound. They at first thought she had been bitten by a squirrel or a mink, or something small.

(34,133 posts)The front was at the ground level for the parking lot, the back had basically a basement where the poop was collected. That place had a service that came in to empty the chemical toilets and that lower level gave them easy access.
Maybe at the yurt location in the story, they did the same thing, but the lower level became accessible to the bear. It would make a decent shelter - heck, maybe the poor thing was hibernating and rudely awoken by the woman.

There's just so many woodland creatures out there to bite your butt. I'm never gonna poop again.

Which explained why his neighbors mocked the fancy outhouse he'd built...

snip-"Australian woman who had difficulty flushing her toilet was shocked to find four snakes coiled up inside the cistern.
Sofie Pearson, 25, who lives on a cane farm in North Queensland, told CNN affiliate 7News that when she went to her bathroom last Sunday, she had to push down hard on the button to get the toilet to flush.
"I was a bit confused," she told 7News. "So I figured I'd just pull the top off and check what the issue was."
and here she is showing how cool and collected she is...
snip"-"I sort of looked at them for a second and thought ... that's not right," she told 7News."
