Did the whale try and blame it on the family dog?

OKC: worse than an airburst
JS: Just dont teach whales how to light 'em

No kidding, talk about an "airburst!" Natural fuel-air bomb? ROFL

All the while the whales have been laughing it up... "Those morons thought we were singing!"

The answer is "W - O - M - B."

Alex, "How do you spell what a whale fart sounds like?"

My daughter is a marine biologist. I've been known to tease her about studying fish farts. I've saved this picture for her.

Yes, I know whales aren't fish, but the pic is too good to pass up!

Hmmm, maybe the marine biologists have been incorrectly identifying "whalesong" for decades.

What a boon to mankind! I wonder how much of our tax money was used to fund this study?

Our tax dollars at work (though the photo should make a great ZOT placeholder).

My dog was farting in Technicolor yesterday (I told my sweetie that if farts were colored, these would have been tie-dyed!). It was insanely bad - I had to keep getting up and leaving the room! (He's not one of those gross dogs that does it all the time and you get used to it - he just all of a sudden started lettin' 'em rip!) It's been raining a lot and the yard is full of all kinds of mushrooms - I think he may have gotten into some that disagreed with him. Sorry to post a novel about the horrible smell of my dog - just felt the need to share. I won't let it happen again. :-)

The taxpayers paying for this would be Australian not American.
