I'd like to start a discussion of riddles (Maybe a riddle a week or a month, post below and say if you wan't a riddle a week or month). The first riddle:

A fellow encountered a bear in a wasteland. Both got frightened - fellow ran to the north, bear to the west. Suddenly the fellow stopped, aimed his gun to the south and shot the bear. What color was the bear?
