Two Alcoholic Bears in Russia make it rehab in Transylvania

Just a moment of "Strange But True" ....

Last week, two alcoholic bears who have been living in squalor for 20 years next to a bar in Sochi were ordered by a Russian court to pack up and go into rehab.

A place in central Transylvania — one that has a lot of experience with retired boozing circus dancing bears, of course — stepped up and offered to put the duo on a 12-step regimen.

But the cost of transportation made the journey impossible until 80-year-old French sex symbol Bridget Bardot stepped in and footed the bill.
