SEVENOAKS, England,- A British prankster pleaded guilty to making numerous hoax emergency calls, including a claim that he had been raped by a whale.
Daniel Hammond, 21, pleaded guilty before magistrates in Sevenoaks, England, to making several hoax calls to the 999 emergency number between Aug. 4, 2009, and March 3 of this year, The Sun reported Wednesday.
Prosecutors said the calls included a claim that his genitals fell off because he smoked too much marijuana before sex and a Saddam Hussein imitation featuring a bomb threat against a train.
"The defendant's calls started with claims he'd been raped by a whale but became more threatening as the months went by, and during the last call he told an operator he'd planted a bomb on a commuter train," prosecutor James Nichols said.
Defense attorney Laura Hollingham said her client suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
"He self medicates by drinking alcohol and made these calls when he was drunk. He is very embarrassed about what he said," Hollingham said.
Hammond is due to be sentenced May 4.
Never.
Couldn’t happen.
Now, a ~Dolphin~ on the other hand .....
A “practical joker” deserves applause for his wit according to its quality.
Bastinado is about right.
For exceptional wit one might grant keelhauling.
But staking him out on an anthill should be reserved for the very wittiest.
LAZARUS LONG
We now pause in our normally scheduled night of Hippo Awareness-raising to focus on another insidioous threat -
Dolphin Rape!

Hot sun + sledge hammer + 30 days = end of dumb jokes.
Lol..he wished....
Oh, come on. He's bipolar.
I always wondered why Flipper seemed so happy.
Is he admitting it was consensual?
Okay, that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
Now A dolphin claiming Man Rape would be a lot more unsettling.
I bet he’d be fun to know.
I’m glad he admitted it was a hoax. A lot of people have been worried about this.
All the jokes I can think of will get me in trouble...
Now he knows why they call it a "blowhole"
Was Barney Frank travelling overseas again?
I wouldn’t have worried lol. Sounds to me like he needs to detox for awhile & hide his face. What a stupid person. People were actually worried? D@mn.....
That photo is disgusting. I hate that whales are eaten for food. People can eat all the fish they want but I hate seeing whales slaughtered.
