AMAZING fact of the day

[joggerjayne]

A polar bear can smell a human ...

... wait for this ...

... 15 miles away !!!!!!!!!!!!

That like from here to Hayward's Heath ... !!!

(so it could probably smell me from here to Birmingham when I've been out for a run)

(although ... I don't think they have polar bears in Birmingham)

[ReallyLegend]

and your point is ?�

[noway2]

Enter YOGI.

[Razzle09]

Surely you mean YODA..............

[joggerjayne]

No point, Leggy.

But ... 15 miles !!!!!

I mean ... you can't escape from a polar bear by hiding behind a rock ... unless the rock is 15 miles away.

I guess you could move to Birmingham. You'd be safe there.

smarter than the average bear!!

Evening peepies xx.................what timing!!

polar bears are really black, you know. They have black skin but white fur.

Q: an explorer leaves his tent, goes a mile south, a mile east and a mile north back to his tent, and shoots a bear that's trying to get into it. What colour is the bear?

(Well, you can see where this is leading.)

Evening leggy

Cleverly done

[jno]

Well I thought it was amazing jj. 15 miles!

[joggerjayne]

jno i heard that the individual hairs of a polar bear are actually transparrent and that they merely reflect the white of the snow? perhaps i have been told lies :(

Also interesting quote 'I heard that bears are attracted to the smell of a woman's menstruation' - 'Did you hear that?? now you're putting the whole station at risk!!!'

Can anyone tell me what this is from? Google may not work; it is a quote from memory so it may be slightly different from the original source lol!!!!

Anchorman...

[ReallyLegend]

well i saw a polar bear in flamingoland
it looked a very dirty white
like sheeps wool
but the snow reflecting would make it look whiter.


A myth concerns the belief that the polar bear's hollow hairs conduct ultraviolet light to its black skin, thus capturing energy. This theory was tested—and disproved—by physicist Daniel Koon.

[jno]

Azrael, I think we're both right: they have a base layer of white fur but longer transparent hair on top of that.

What do you know, the male's hairy legs attract females, just like humans.

[Azrael86]

Well done snags, Legend i fear you may have been googling information again lol! do u have anything else like a link? i am now genuinely interested! science changes so quickly it is hard to keep up! Sometimes I will invest in a copy of New Scientist to satisfy my curiosity; is a very good magazine to buy but unfortunately i buy it with all these good intentions and very rarely get to finish it lol at me!!! legend please enlighten us with the current scientific truth! :)

[Jan1957]

Here's one jj. If you cut the head off a cockroach it would live for another nine days. Apparently the brain is in the torso and it would only die because it couldn't eat.

[ReallyLegend]

the transparent hair doesnt conduct ultraviolet light tho



i thot that snags


but as theyre mere women here
i didnt think theyd understand it


lol

[noway2]

Hi yogi.I knew you would turn up when you got the scent of JJ.
