Wish I was better at photoshop. I’d switch that Coke bottle in the polar bear-Coca Cola ad for a bottle of Bushmills.

I've read that. But not lately. It seems that they can but I'd think that they probably can't once they reach too great a weight.

My daughter says there was a green polar bear at the San Diego Zoo not too long ago. Algae had invaded hollow hairs in its fur. Once they figured it out, he had to have a thorough scrub down to get rid of it.

I think I read something about that too.

Polar bear skin is black and the hair acts like a fiber optic and directs sunlight to the skin.

So that explains my 'mean streak' (or so I'm told).

[at least I have a valid excuse for it now ;-)]
