Did you know that if you lose a tooth out of your head, and said tooth is still in one piece and in good nick, the thing to do is to put it in a glass of milk and report to your nearest Accident and Emergency Department (ER in America) where they can put it back in your head. Sure, you'll be eating soup through a straw for several days: but you'll still have the tooth.

Did you know that at my old school, the penalty for socking the school bully in the mouth and knocking two of his teeth out was twelve of the best, not six. Plus an impromptu maths lesson: 2 x 6 = 12!

It was worth it.

True. A polar bear's liver contains enough Vitamin A to kill you.

It's edible, but very tough. Perhaps they didn't, or couldn't, cook it. Raw polar bear is full of parasites that could kill humans.

This is the same problem with dogs, very high vit A content in livers and actually lead to the downfall of the Scott expedition to the Antarctic.

And polar bear meat is only a problem if uncooked, see here

What I find amusing about Rfan's post is that someone has actually gone to the trouble to put "How to cook a Polar Bear" on the internet, the old web never ceases to amaze me
