7/25/2003: Purple polar bear

Elspode and And suggested this one. It's been pretty widely circulated, but it's such a nice Friday image -- only bettered by yesterday's ostrich.

Pelusa, a fourteen-year-old female polar bear, looks through the bars of her cage at Mendoza's Zoo, some 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) west of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Pelusa is normally white, but turned this color after vets gave her a drug to fight a skin infection. She should turn back to her normal color within a month.

I had a skim infection once.

Just when I got used to seeing Pink Elephants, and now this!

Thanks a lot, 'toad.

My pool had a skim infection once, except it was green not purple.


I guess those nasty care bears just couldnt stay away

Tony edited and now I look more like a retard.

That's because you are a retard.

What drug did they give him to turn him purple? I suspect crayon play at work here.

Poor Pelusa look embarrassed.:(

I know, I know.

Nah...you didn't need his help to achieve that.

Wow, dude! You basically copied juju's response!

This lardskulled fucktard is what happens when God has to work under deadlines.

(Apparently, none of you mental giants can read, because it says "more like a retard", implying that I am already. Way to turn that one around on me!)

I understand what Juju was saying...and I think my post was pretty clear. It's not our fault you have comprehension problems. Maybe it's time for some remedial reading courses, eh?

OK, the ton of people who read IotD but who don't read the rest of the Cellar are very confused now.

Their fault...they should read the entire Cellar. Just hanging out on IotD is like just playing with a woman's boobs, but not even bothering to look for the pussy.
