Billy Fewer claimed that,while on an african safari
hunting a viscous lion, he slipped and brokehis foot.
not to be putoff,he managed to continue on a long
enough to track the lion and kill it. Then he said that
while he was at the north pole during the dead of winter,
he caught aterrible cold, but was still able to track and
kill a polar bear. Then, to top it off, while in a small boat
off the coast of Florida, he was able to catch and land a
shark, in spite of thefact that hisarm was badly sprained.
Although Billy's tales are hard to believe, on what point
do you know he's lying?
i apolgise for not doing spellcheck as i have left spaces out in some places
Catching a cold at the North Pole.
That sounds right as those nasty germs don't work in the cold. My money's on you. I was just going to guess the same.
Seems to me I've heard recently (what a coincidence!) that you can't catch a cold at the North Pole. I assume the virus doesn't exist, or can't survive, there.

For this to work the question would have to be asked in a very specific way, it's not impossible to have a cold at the north pole, Billy could have caught the virus from the pilot of the plane that took him there when they set off from Aberdeen.
If you're at the north pole in the dead of winter you have more problems than a cold.
Are there polar bears at the north pole in the dead of winter? I would think not.
London, new york, preston wherever you like, point is you can have a cold at the north pole.

Are there EVER polar bears at the North Pole? It's not like the South Pole where you have an ice mass, right?

Polar bears definitely live in the arctic, perhaps the answer might be that in the dead of winter the ice pack spreads much further south, and the seals follow it to be close to the waters edge in order to catch fish
The bears would have to follow because they eat seals, so perhaps that far south doesnt count as the north pole.
In which case Ticomayer you would be right.
in the north pole in the dead of winter it is to cold for cold bugs or viruses to survive, don 1 to your answer its suggests billy fewer caught the cold in the north pole in the dead of winter not on the plane/ helicopter.
