Don't sell them on eBay. Let people get their own memories.

sometimes you wish you could share your memories, but in fact you can't

Something popped up in my memory - I seem to recall that there was talk of rescuing some polar bears and putting them in a specially created habitat on board. What do you say Captain?

"sometimes you wish you could share your memories, but in fact you can't "
There are two exceptions:
1. If cameras were present, pictures or videos can be taken to preserve the memories, which can then be shared. 
2. If you can get a Hogwarts wizard to help you by means of the pensieve.

i am expecting to find some polar bears for safekeeping any day now, doc
you are right, paul. allthough i believe watching a scene, filming it and watching the film are three different things.

That's good, I can't bear the thought of them all starving when they haven't got enough ice left to hunt from.

looks like that polar bear over there swam into some crude oil spilled from a supertanker

Yes, Pierce, there are differences (some bigger than others) among the three options, because the angles of viewing are apt to be different. On the other hand, the version that's on film will always look the same, whereas many people *remember* the same incident differently each time they recall it.

Fluffy Pink Rabbit. (Remember that polyester has feelings, too) Posted Jul 27, 2009
Sometimes I wonder if my memory of being the first rabbit to climb Mount Everest was real or implanted in my brain by space-aliens.

there is a famous clip from a danish tv series. it is famous because so many danes remember seeing it - in spite of the fact that it was never made 
the scene is just described so vividly in the series that many people think they have seen it. yours truly included

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only eats bamboo, and therefore would not eat a even if the were the only thing avaiable to eat.

You are thinking of Panda's. The one swimiing this way is definitely a meat eater. He may not be able to see the sheep with all that oil in his eyes but I bet he can smell it.
