Ivy League Mystery: Why Did Cornell Students Skin a Bear in Their Dorm Room?
Ever find yourself staring at the fridge in your college dorm—contemplating whether that Tupperware is actually safe to eat—only to realize things could always get weirder? Well, at Cornell, two enterprising undergrads just set the bar for communal kitchen horror stories by dragging in a freshly killed 120-pound black bear, ready for a little DIY butchery next to someone’s leftover pizza rolls . Turns out, they had every license in the bureaucratic handbook and, believe it or not, didn’t technically break a single law (except, maybe, the unspoken one about not traumatizing your hallmates before breakfast) . Is this survivalist ingenuity? The ultimate flex in the dorm room food chain? Or simply what happens when you take “locally sourced” way too literally…? Before you reach for your scented candles to cover the scent of bear, dive into these reactions and decide for yourself—was this the most legendary dorm kitchen moment ever, or the stuff freshman year nightmares are made of?
