Why don't polar bears eat penguins?

Frig of a long way for a polar bear to travel for a quick penguin snack.

Polar bears do not eat Penguins because their paws are too big to remove the wrapping.

Your ears.

get yerself a piece of cheese

Whats so weird about the words "buckle","dust","file" and "bolt"?

Clue? Define weird.

^ They are as weird as the word "seed", "left" or the letter "X"

If you know what an antonym is, then it might point you in the right direction...

Haha yeah I was going to say I'm not sure if we have the same understanding of the word 'clue' but that's more useful...

Antilogy.

Well you learn something new every day... I should tune in more often

^ None of that Google or Wiki stuff here mate.

Straight from Bogon's mind...(excuse the 3rd person reference).

Blown away!

Hmph.

I was just going to say that they are all nouns as well as verbs...

Excellent:
However the answer is perhaps three fold:

Nearest 711 Nome Alaska.
Well known fact that all Polar bears have a chronic intolerance of Cacao.
Alligators ate 'em all.

I don't know if this available on Google and, strictly speaking, it is not trivia. Nevertheless it may appeal to some. As a child I can remember helping my father solve a puzzle and this is it.

Take thirteen playing cards of any suit. Put them into a small pack and move the top card to the bottom of the pack while spelling out the name of the card i.e Ace, A-C-E, Two, T-w-o, etc. all the way up to Jack, Queen and King. At the end of each spelling turn up the top card of the deck and remove it. What is the initial order of the cards in this pack if by spelling and removal the whole sequence from Ace to King may be achieved ?

As an obvious clue, the fourth card in the pack, in descending order, will be the Ace and the eighth will be the Two.

A gaggle of geese, a herd of buffalo, a colony of ants, a ......... of crows

court


How did I know this? My Dad's brother wrote a novel many years ago titled "Court of Crows".
