How do you turn a Tu-95 "Bear" bomber plane into an F-11 Tiger fighter jet? Get a lot of workers, spend a lot of time and use a lot of spare parts!

Some very unique answers.
I meant TRANSFORM a Bear into a Tiger.
And...   intended an ORGANIC ORGANISM.

But, unique answers nonetheless.

Ok,

Here is your hint....

It is only possible to transform a Bear into a Tiger if a Tiger first lays Bear eggs.

Remove the trailing parenthesis....................

I complained that it was difficult to make a link to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(large_version)

Without considering the parenthesis as part of the link.  It looks like one needs a little more tuning.  Adding a space is normally sufficient, or one can manually enter the URL.
