Japanese whalers slaughter minke and calf in name of science

[Nick-W]

C'ress, I'm 99% positive that krill and regular plankton are not overly effective in regulating carbon dioxide levels.

You are probably thinking of phytoplankton and there levels could easily be boosted by dumping iron particles off the southern tip of New Zealand.

I dont think whales live of plants do they?

[infectious]

better have alot of iron paticles!

Phytoplankton, or algae, are very effective at regulating CO2 levels in the atmosphere as they photosynthesise to produce food and as a by-product turn the CO2 into O2... the water in the ocean also absorbs alot of CO2...

Anyone ever eaten veal from an unborn calf?

It's delicious alright... but fisting the pregnant cow to get it is the really fun part

Try tying ropes to a calf and pulling it out by 4WD.

You're just in a purple patch at the moment there Simon. Some of your work over the last week has been your best ever.

Worth every one of my 8 cents a day.

Chamberess's whales do. Strict vegetarians. They also do yoga.


Sadly, there's no easier target for a jap harpoonist than a meditating blubbertard.

Using the term 'Jap' to descibe Japanese is uncool and racist.

Using the term Japcrap to desribe an old Toyota is however acceptable

Apologies to all honourable Land of Rising Sun scientists/harpoonists out there on the high seas; may your sushi supply be never-ending and your life be full of blubber....

Dont you guys have vehicle inspections prior to registration renewals?

Chamberess' whales are nothing more than a reflection of her own ideals & self-image. Therefore it stands to reason that they also do capoeria, worry about their weight, take their ethical bearings from Sportsgirl-level thinkers like David Suzuki, consider themselves several cuts above the common run of their fellow mammals & lecture everyone all the time. Their unique undersea sonar communication system means that their irritating fuschia pontifications can be heard for several thousand kilometres. More than enough reason to harpoon their fat middlebrow office drone asses

Absolute f...... legend Ben Schlomo.

BTW Pommy journal "Nature": ran a bigger scenario on this abt 1995 (bit of Giaia plus...)

half of australia is apparently obese the japanese should harpoon them. they can do it in the name of research.

Ha ha! Get a Harpoon rigged up in one of those car parks where you have a Macca's, Domino's and Krispy Kremes engrossed on the landscape. As the sugar cravers leave their grasing houses give them a good ole harpoon for afters... That would make people think twice before visiting those sugary places.

Mind you - then they would just dial up a takeaway instead to avoid the wrath of the Japanese... - Then the research would be floored and the Japanese might have to pretend that the killings are for research

H'mmm?

Just read an interesting profile of Paul Watson in the New Yorker from late last year.

Seems that he came from a heavily abusive household, beaten badly by father, lost his mother young, and subsequently left home young, living semi-wild around Canadian university campuses for years before getting tied up in Greenpeace.

Three marriages, one child (a daughter).

Also badly beaten up by seal fishermen when trying to get in the way of baby-seal-clubbing in Canada.

Considered a near saint by many Hollywood actors/directors/etc, some of whom have kicked down big to support various activities.

Most interesting and complex bloke...I think not as he appears, at least in the news etc.
