All things in disorder
Back in good ol' medieval times, you could always tell when the ****e
was about to hit the fan when things started going entirely wrong; when dogs and cats started sleeping together, when hens were born from hard-boiled eggs, when priests began taking a strange and unnatural interest in young girls, instead of young boys. Therefore, this news item fills me with fear; as it seems one of the basic pillars of our civilization has fallen, and all we can ask is "Jacques Cousteau; where are you now that we need you?": http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15964896/ :-D Pat |

I'd heartily advise him/her to attack his/her captors as often as possible. Perhaps one day we will grant basic rights to all animals. I suppose that won't happen until we do the same for all fellow humans. This doesn't fill me with fear- just sadness. Thanks, Pat. Goodnight Dale |

Once again, we see the health advantages of a diet heavy on fish oil! :-) Perhaps one day we will grant basic rights to all animals. I suppose that won't happen until we do the same for all fellow humans. This doesn't fill me with fear- just sadness. Ditto. I've never ran into a animal I didn't like, or at least couldn't understand regarding the motivations of its actions. I wish I could say the same about our own species. Pat |

Everyone was so shocked when that Australian croc hunter died...whatshisname. I'm sure his stunts meant well and raised awareness. But everytime I see someone taking chances with wild animals I'm hollerin'...come on...bite his sorry ass.... Thanks, Pat. Goodnight Dale |

And further down (the page, that is): "Surprisingly, her body also shuddered against mine, and we spent the next 5 or so minutes just lying together in the shallows, holding each other, enjoying our company and revelling in the fact that we had shared something special together, something very few people can claim to have done. I do not brag about this though. It is not something you can brag about, since it not only is demeaning to the act, but it destroys the purpose of the act as well; to express affection, and trust. I only consent to those dolphins who ask. As a result, I have mated only three times. Each time was memorable and special, because each time it was something we both wanted to share with each other." Yes, make sure the dolphin asks; there are few things more embarrassing than being brought up on dolphin rape charges. That's got to be one of the stranger pages out there on the web. :-D Pat |

: http://www.angelfire.com/gu/orcas/attack.html This one is rather impressive: "Kandu 5, a rountinally agressive whale, took 2 trainers in her mouth and would not release them" Orcas have big mouths certainly, but catching two trainers at once takes some skill. |
