They've put a limit on the areas they can use that. IIRC, mostly around Korea/Japan/China. :confused:

Think of it as the oceanic equivalent of a roadkill eating club. If they can get to them fast enough, it's dinner, not garbage.

I want to see another vehicle bringing a giant oval can with a key to put these guys in.

Why is the Navy killing whales? http://www.savebiogems.org/whales/

Because they keep getting sucked into the propulsion intakes of the nuclear submarines.


Note to everybody except karen. I am fully aware that this is not how a nuclear sub runs. The following is solely for humor value:



You think it's hard to clean the eagles out of the jet engines? Piece of cake compared to scraping blubber out of a nuclear powered steam turbine.

By now, I'm sure many of you have heard of the whale seen in London today.

Just a matter of time before it beaches itself in the muddy riverbanks.

No, it doesn't. It's the sonar. Like living next door to a train station that has no downtime where all the trains have to sound their horns constantly.

ok, somehow I got the feeling that Bob Schieffer was linking the fact that the Russians are p.o'd at the Brits for the whole Spy Rock thing and actually may have used this poor whale as a counter spy! I did not, however, see any laser beam attached to it's head. Poor thing. Anyway, did anyone else watch CBS news last night and come up with this?

Any word on the effect of sonar on whale penis? That's really all I'm concerned about.

Trilby 01-24-2006 09:50 AM

Due to your own ginormous whale-like penis? :lol:
Hey, I'd be concerned, too, if I were you.

Hey, this is a small price to pay, remember we are in a war against terror! Besides, W's daddy has probably hit a few while speeding around Kennybunkport. :reaper:
