can sharks vomit old socks...??
maybe if they vomited banana skins the experiment could be staged to make us believe that they can vomit old socks when in fact they are just vomiting banana skin

..... even if they do conduct the test now. i wont believe it

Old socks cannot vomit sharks underwater.

Sharks, bananas now socks? Whatever happened to nice sweetsmelling polar bears?

*shakes head muttering*

Do polar bears smell good?! I don't think I'd smell very good if I ate what polar bears eat...

Useless fact (wow, I'm on a roll!):
Many zoos use truck tires as polar bear toys; they're sturdy enough for the bears to chew on for 3 or 4 days before they have to be replaced.

Amazing co-incidence that.

My truck uses Polar Bears instead of tyres, and i can normally get about 30 miles out of a particularly big one, but they do squeal a bit on cornering.

another amazing co incidence!!! (is there an 'amazing co incidence' thread?)

I can indeed confirm that polar bears do smell awful

our 'family' polar bear, 'Pula', has been mingin like a ....well a pair of old socks, for weeks.. Finally wrestled him off his 'minder' (5 year old bear keeper) last night and stuffed him with difficulty into the washing machine (bout the size of a collie).. he now lies on the shelf above the aga drying out,back to originally off white, fluffy and smelling nicely of Fairy)

The most ferocious member of the bear family is the polo bear. Not unlike it's polar cousin in countenance, it is often suggested that the reason for the animals terrible ferocity is it's frustration at having a hole in it's middle.

Conversely the Fox's Glacier Mint bear is well known for it's calm demeanour and coolness under pressure.

Always wanted to be eaten by a Kodiak bear. Nobody who's done it has ever blogged about what it feels like.

have you ever tried to get the coca cola bear to bed after drinking all them bottles of the stuff at such a late hour?

dreadful for the tantrums, coca cola bears.

Kodiak bears... are those the ones with the cameras?

yeah
remember the kitkat ad?

them

In Australia the polar bear is the symbol for Bundaberg Rum.

Though why they chose a polar bear for a brown rum that is manufactured in sunny Queensland is beyond me

Maybe it's as mean as a polar bear??

You got that right, polar bears are bloody mean! Have you ever tried to borrow money from one? Sheesh.

BTW - If you drink enough Bundy Rum you can vomit anywhere!!!

and they'll eat your underwear.. quick as a flash
and.. according to popular opinion..... you wont ever see it again..

Useless Fact

You can vomit underwater while scuba diving and keep your regulator in your mouth.

i'm glad i'm not a regulator


ewwwwww

But can polar bears?

just heard this useless fact on the radio and because it is relevant thought i'd post it.

Ireland is 52 degrees north of the equator (? may have this slightly wrong but it doesn't really matter and some place the same degree south in the southern hemisphere has polar bears and the only reason we're not spending our days dodging polar bears is because we have the gulf stream!

we did have one in dublin zoo, but poor fella went barmy and had to go to the home for institutionalised and pining for the antartic polar bears..
