Things you didn’t know about Polar Bears

Soapbox says:

I was listening to Kevin Smith’s SModcast and they were talking about this book of “things you think you know” and one of them was that Polar Bears cover their noses to camouflage themselves in the snow. M. says:
Oh is that so?
M. says:
I suspect you are full of that thing people know to be ‘shit’.
Soapbox says:
Yeah the author said that wasn’t true.
Soapbox says:
When Polar Bears don’t want to be seen, they wear trench-coats
M. says:
lol
M. says:
that can’t be right
Soapbox says:
It is. They also wear wide-brimmed fedoras
M. says:
How do they go about purchasing this attire?
Soapbox says:
Polar Bear postcard sales. Proceeds from the card of a Polar Bear floating on ice floe with “Wish you were Bear” outfitted over seventy bears with trench-coats
Soapbox says:
They, in turn, funded trench-coats for 4900 bears with money from part-time PI work
M. says:
Why, I”m astonished that I hadn’t heard of this before.
Soapbox says:
That’s how effective their disguises are
M. says:
Indeed.
Soapbox says:
You’re just skeptical because you haven’t read the book. The guy is really good
M. says:
But now everyone will be on to them, and after Golden Compass is released everyone will know they have a secret army and can talk too.
Soapbox says:
It doesn’t matter, you still won’t be able to find them. Walruses rarely see them coming, and they’ve been doing it for ages.
M. says:
It truly is a wild and mysterious world.
