OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 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.

FaramirK Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 narwhals ... I wonder if whales will be hunting people in a few years time... 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?

Drakron Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jaguars4ever Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So Sumo's are allowed to hunt whilst others can't? That's hardly fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
