Alleged Facts

[bradley.webber1]

I was listening to the local radio station this morning and they were discussing so called "alleged facts" which someone had proven from doing some sort of study. But they were more or less talking about the ones that make you go "Huh, how did you come to that conclusion?".
For example; all polar bears are left handed; or someone who has a smarter IQ is less likely to cheat on their girlfriend or wife but they are more likely to lie to them.... Huh?

Please post below if you have any others of these so called alleged facts

"people with less than 10 posts to their name are more likely to post up lame Threads in Off-Topic"

OP, this was heard on 104.7 and as such even alleged facts must be taken with a grain of salt.

Aldi. They're German polar bears. Bit better made than the ones you usually get.

Polar bears really don't have a chance then, do they?

99.876% of RB newbies don't know that posts in off-topic, no matter how interesting, do not contribute towards their post count.

I wonder if that Lotto story about the money spider on the bingo card is true...?

Which all this talk of polar bears here's a real fact of about them. They often cover their nose with a paw when stalking prey. Pretty cool huh?

There's my useless contribution to Farkin for the day.

"Dr. Ian Stirling and several assistants used telescopes to watch undisturbed polar bears hunting seals in the Canadian High Arctic, 24 hours a day when conditions permitted, in both spring and summer conditions, for several weeks each year for several years. They documented the details of many hundreds of hunts. No bear was ever seen putting a paw over its nose while stalking a seal. Nor, to our knowledge, have other polar bear biologists, ever observed this behavior. Simply from a mechanical point of view, Stirling expresses puzzlement about just how a bear might walk, crawl, or stalk on three legs while holding its paw over its nose for an extended period since most stalks on the sea ice cover 50 to as much as 200 meters."
