I was reading the biography of DeForest Kelly, who played Dr. McCoy on the original Star Trek--like you guys wouldn't know who he was!--and after Star Trek, he had two fears--one, that he would be typecast, and two, that his tombstone would have the words "He's dead, Jim" engraved on it. The first fear came to pass; he was typecast. But as for the second.... before he died, he left instructions that he be cremated and his ashes scattered at sea. This was done. Why he couldn't have had the tombstone made up his way, without his trademark phrase, I don't know....

De Kelley had a great sense of humor. I remember hearing a joint interview with him and William Shatner back in the 80's, at the time when Shatner was starring in the TV show "T.J. Hooker." The interviewer asked him the typecasting question, and whether it bothered him that people would call him by the character name.

Kelley looked at Shatner and replied, "Well, I'd much rather have someone yell 'Hey, Dr. McCoy' at me from across the street than 'Hey, Hooker'!!" :D:

Probably applies to pandas just as well as grizzlies.

And did they... um, well, you know... in the woods?

I'm pretty sure if there has ever been a grizzly bear to China, it's name was Nixon.

Of course they do (in family groups no less), and they even get toilet paper dingleberries. Don't you watch those gross Charmin commercials? They are literally responsible for making me switch to a different TP brand.
