Not the deadliest.

 

We can feed our young to the sharks...

Deadliest.

certainly the most pedantic....

I think it's okay, excepting the fact that the whales get laser beams attached to their friggin' heads. And maybe they could get some telepathic abilities, maybe even throwing in some telekinesis. That shall be the hunt of the ages, of course not including the Great Zebra Battle of 1891 in Australia.

Well, we don't eat crocodiles on an industrial scale (only boutique meals), and baracuda probably give as good as they get.

Do you happen to know the etymology behind their name, Metadictionary? In English it looks like someone left out the last "e", but its the same phonically in Russian ("нарвал"), which is curious...maybe an inuit or Lapp word?

The Narwhal (meaning "corpse whale" in Old Norse) is a rarely seen Arctic whale. This social whale is known for the VERY long tooth that males have. Very little is known about this whale.

Norwegian, or Danish narhval from Old Norse nhvalr : nr, corpse (from its whitish color) + hvalr, whale.

 

Question to you FarimirK: do you not follow my links that I spend extra time and effort researching for such useful background information? :thumbsup:

Well, now that you mention it, I didn't go to your link. Most of the links I went to in the past ("most" read "Baley's") ended up being spam/porn/spam-porn, so I just stopped clicking them. Sorry for the grief I caused you.

 

:p

I think with whales a nation should be allowed to hunt and kill them if they're willing to give up equal weight in flesh in return.

So Sumo's are allowed to hunt whilst others can't? That's hardly fair.
