It's funny- I googled it and the first 5 articles vaguely confirm that the hair is translucent and hollow AND conducts heat. Further checking finds this article which gives an explanation that disputes the heat conducting properties. <a href="http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF13/1390.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF13/1390.html</a> I laughed at this comment: "As writer Bertrand Russell pointed out, even Aristotle--the most famous scientist of his day--claimed that women have fewer teeth than men, though it never occurred to him to check Mrs. Aristotle's mouth. The moral of Koon's study is that a little dose of skepticism never hurts." Wait 'til I tell my mentor docent. :-) Right you are.

I am cracking up here... Thanks for information on Polar Bears. I learned something today. And May your long lost love get back from that awful city called Paris. whose poop is whose?

Je suis jalouse. I would love to be there too right now. The poop info is fascinating; I love bears, but am terrified of them at the same time. My husband would love to go to Alaska, but alas, I am bear-phobic--except when they are at a zoo. (we have polar bears at our Point Defiance zoo) PARIS?? Je suis jalouse.

Shouldn't you be in Paris with your beloved instead of at a zoo with big old bears? Scat!

We went in November and the bears were all sleeping so it wasn't the same. Hormones and poop are pretty fundamental things to study. Ummmm....what else? I'm glad the zoo gig is bringing you satisfaction and joy. Rachel wants to have her birthday party at the zoo. Did I say that already? Probably.

One depends on the other, I think. Glitter in the poop......I wonder what the animal thinks of that when they examine their leavings (as they almost always do)? Poor things might decide they have a terminal illness with glittery poop or pop-it beads...LOL I still want to know why you didn't go to Paris too. And if you'd share your new address, I'd send you some great hotel soap!! I am devastated for both the polar bears and the Inuit people. One depends on the other, I think.

Yay for non-invasive, non-stress inducing science. Wonderful. The plight of the polar bear breaks my heart. I find it unbearable that such a magnificent creature is wandering the earth with its very specialized habitat shrinking, and I don't think there's a damned thing we're going to do about it. They are the harbingers. I love the idea of glittery poop, and poop with colored beads. Yay for non-invasive, non-stress inducing science. Wonderful. The plight of the polar bear breaks my heart.
