SAN FRANCISCO -- Researchers are optimistic that two humpback whales are back in the ocean today after an unusual two-week stay in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The whales, spotted late Tuesday off Tiburon, could have made it out of the Golden Gate any time after dark. Sighting reports this morning have not been confirmed and could be linked to other types of whales believed to be cruising through San Francisco Bay. "They could be anywhere," said Carol Singleton, spokeswoman for the state Office of Emergency Services. "The hope is that they're home and they're safe," Singleton said. "It would be nice to have a dramatic ending where we're standing on the Golden Gate Bridge as they pass under. But most important is that they're in safer water." The biologists and veterinarians who had been working to help guide the whales back to the Pacific Ocean were unable to attach a telemetry tag to the mother whale because of a malfunction with the tag.

“How do you lose 2 whales?........”
Remember, if you will, these are liberals we’re talking about. None of them is capable of finding even his/her own ass.
I heard Rosie was touring with Cyndi Lauper.........
“It would be nice to have a dramatic ending where we’re standing on the Golden Gate Bridge as they pass under....Jeez! and then we all link hands and cry?...Get a grip.
A Klingon Battle Cruiser with the cloaking device engaged transported them into a giant aquarium made of 12 inch thick plexiglass (because transparent aluminum hasn't been invented yet). And it wasn't a moment too soon, because a planet destroying probe is headed toward earth because it lost contact with the whales when we hunted them to extinction in the mid 21st century, and the radio waves it was sending to try to reestablish contact would have caused massive destruction to the planet.
LOL, well said.
You would think someone would have “tagged” them with homing devices...

They probably would have reached open sea sooner if Marine Biologists weren’t playing “Whale Sounds” at them that said, “don’t go that way, there’s nothing but Japanese Whaling Ships out there!”
No, she’s busy chasing Lindsay Lohan in rehab.
Were the whales singing “Goodbye, and thank you for the fish” before they disappeared?
They did, the trandsponder did not transpond.
Is this something I’m supposed to care about?
“Admiral..there be WHALES here,..”
Aluminium oxynitride (AlON) Aluminium oxynitride (Al23O27N5) marketed under the name ALON is an aluminium composite, having the optical transparency properties of glass, yet four times the strength and hardness.
Come on, how many options are there, really? Somebody go check Los Angeles. They might be downtown.
My version of the whale story: There was a Yorkie dog loose on a back country road here in Metrowest MA, 6 am last week. Chased him for half an hour and couldn’t catch him. Police/dog officer threw up their hands...no town leash law.) I travel on that road twice a day and haven’t seen him since....hoping he’s back home. (He was adorable.)
They just didn't look in the right place. Unfortunately, both of the giant creatures are alive and well and hanging out in various New York eateries.
Did you look in the linen closet and the junk drawer?
