Hmmm... One can kill a person with one of these things!" What did I know - they can be used as weapons:Montana woman fends off bear attack with zucchini

Police say a Montana woman fended off a bear attack with an unlikely weapon — a zucchini.

Missoula County Sheriff's Lt. Rich Maricelli says a 200-pound black bear attacked one of the woman's dogs just after midnight Wednesday on the back porch of her home about 15 miles west of Missoula.

When the woman, whom police did not name, tried to separate the animals, the bear bit her in the leg.

Maricelli says the woman reached for the nearest object at hand on the porch's railing — a large zucchini that she had harvested from her garden.

The woman flung the vegetable at the bear, striking it and forcing it to flee.

The comments are funny, too, like this one, "The bear was obviously a teenager. Everyone knows teenagers are repulsed by zuchini." ROFL
