While at IU I met some really crazy physicists, who told me funny stories. Or facts, I suppose?

If attacked by a bear, ideally she will bite you in a non-essential part of your body (say, your shoulder or your calf). Some bears just don't like the taste of humans, so after one bite she'll walk off. If she starts swiping at you with her claws, you're dead no matter how badly you taste.

The one business establishment in Antarctica is a bar.

In Krakow, every hour on the hour a boy appears in the highest clock tower (I think?) and plays a song on his trumpet. Each time he cuts the song off at a particular point.
Story has it that some hundreds of years ago, the very same song was being played by the trumpeter when the Huns invaded and shot him with an arrow, thus ceasing his song. And they've played the song to that point every hour since.
