bullshite. They are still white when not standing on snow, and how would the hair on their backs be white?

If you took the time to look up a picture of a polar bear, why didn't you just look it up?
<sigh>

Best place to physically hit a bottle of ketchup when it is stuck is on the neck rather than the back. You need to break the surface tension on the sides, not the bottom. So unless you spank that arse with a Bruce Lee style karate chop, you might try another tactic.
Also, armadillos can be carriers for leprosy. No more humping the road kill gumps...

Some rodents still carry bubonic plague (mostly west coast) and there have been reports in the U.S. recently of bubonic plague. (Black Death from the middle ages)
Oh, and rodents outnumber people in NYC by a 6 to 1 margin, and are now "super aggressive", weighing up to 2 pounds and have attacked people, able to jump up to 3 feet high.

Technically I was right about them not being white and I'm gonna have to go with partially right on the reflection issue. I said snow, that particular article said sun, and if you ask me this polar bear, standing in the snow, does look whiter than the zoo bear.

Kids see through bullshite..
Ask a child what color a polar bear is.. I understand Hues and natural tones in the direction you're retreating to, but a fricking polar bear is as white as a polar bear's arse..

I think what he's saying is that a polar bear isn't TECHNICALLY white, it just LOOKS white due to sun and reflection and whatnot.

The Bubonic Plague broke out in 2007 among the hippies that follow Widespread Panic during the Athens, GA run. True story.

- Yersinia pestis is the bacteria that causes plague. This bacteria can be difficult to treat and is resistant to some of the more commonly used antibiotics. It's almost always transmitted through flea bites (for animals and humans). Years ago when I was in vet school I saw a cat infected with plague while I was out in Colorado. Treatment was not attempted and it was euthanized.
- Bananas are radioactive. There is so much potassium in them that there are occasional isotopes that happen to emit some tiny amount of radiation. Interestingly, there is an official unit of radiation exposure called Banana Equivalent Dose. As you might guess this is the amount of radiation you receive from eating 1 banana. (This is true for many fruits that are high in potassium)
