The crew of the Steve Irwin was caught completely off guard today when the Japanese whaling ships Nisshin Maru, Shōnan Maru 2, Yūshin Maru, Yūshin Maru 2, and Yūshin Maru 3 suddenly changed course and headed out of the whalers normal search area. A cheer could be heard onboard the Steve Irwin as the crew shouted "We won, we won!"
Meanwhile, aboard the Nisshin Maru, the whaler Captain, after changing course of the whaling fleet to head to the Chukotka region of Russia's Far East, grinned and muttered..." 特別許可レビュー". (Translates in English to "Like shooting fish in barrel...heh, heh, heh...")

Arctic steak ,it be excellent yum yum
>>>What do they taste like?<<
I have some students from Point Hope and other villages up north, and they’ve shared beluga muktuk with me. It’s very good. Bowhead whale is also excellent. I usually slice the muktuk while it is frozen into thin slices, then dip it in teriyaki and sprinkle cajun seasoning on it. Yum.
What do they taste like
Spotted owl.
“’Given the lack of food and the speed at which the water is freezing, all the animals are threatened with exhaustion and death,’ it added.”

How´s it global warming if they´re trapped by ice?
And thanks for a great thread!
So did global warming cause the ice, then? Global warming can do almost everything! /S
