Aha! A signarure! It is a work of art.

Clone it & find out!

You have to know what it is to find a suitable host to carry the clone to term. I mean, it wouldn't do to have a human trying to carry a whale...

Maybe Rosie O'Donnell can help...

[camle]

or her pant suit, crusty!

[CheneyChick]

Ha ha ha. Good one.

Not the first strange occurance at that beach:

Couple arrested in Valentine's Day raid

In a Valentine's Day raid operation conducted by 8 Kuala Belait Religious Officials, a non-married couple was caught together in a car at the Kg Lumut beach jetty yesterday morning on suspicion of 'berkhalwat' or close proximity. The operation which started at about 12.20 am and ended at about 3 am involved search in the whole Belait district. Only one arrest was made. The couple was brought in for further investigation and if enough evidence is gathered, the couple could be charged in the Syariah Court for close proximity under Section 177(1)2.

I personally think it's the 'Tingler' from that Vincent Price movie.

It looks like a very large backbone. Perhaps the French have been looking for this...

LOL!

With credit to Counter Counter Culture, from whom this image was stolen.

A '69 Oldsmobile registered to Ted Kennedy?

[Lady Jag]

That thing is more like 20 inches, not 20 feet.

[Anchoragite]

I think it is probably a whale, based on the picture

Geez. Just taste it and find out for sure.

U.S. Senate "Republicans'" backbone found washed ashore in southwest Pacific. Doctor Klick's three Beltway Spinal Clinics surrounded by their campaign publicity agents. Rumors of Trent Lott and others selling their spines during the Senate Impeachment Trial of "President" Bill Clinton are awash.

Bill Clinton?

[ricpic]

A 20 inch lobster tail perhaps? Mmmmm lobster tail. Mmmmmm butter. Mmmmmmmmm

Or a basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus. -Tom

[Dog Gone]

a piece of the bone bore a signature, an indication that someone else had stumbled upon the remains and had left his mark

I've heard of weird fetishes, but signing dead things is a new one for me.

Or a basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus. -Tom

I rather thought that basking sharks are chordates rather than true vertebrates, and thus possess a cartileganeous backbone rather than the bony jointed spinal structure that appears to characterize this creature.

Of course, I'm no marine biologist. I'm working off what I remember from my junior high biology class, which was about 1,000 years ago. I would be happy to defer to your superior knowledge if you know different.

[Revolting cat!]

Just taste it and find out for sure.

And if it tastes like chicken, then what?

[Lady Jag]

It doesn't look too fresh, ricpic. I'm not even Mikey, who won't eat anything, and I wouldn't eat it.

It must have been a surgeon. They sign organs all the time.
