Then a 16 dollar Escudos doubloon with a small hole in the middle for the first one to spot him.

I suspect there's a pretty good chance that this was some form of "Hey Moby, I *dare* you to jump over that boat! You scared bud? Chicken?" "Nah bro, I can absolutely clear that, hold my krill and watch this!"


No, no, no, Marshmat. That would be a Florida whale, while this is an Aussie whale. Florida whales don't have to be adolescent in order to do dumb-ass stunts. He hit the boat because everything down there is upside down.

Guilty. In fact I even laughed when I found out a day after the space shuttle disaster that NASA only drinks Pepsi because they can't get 7Up. Sometimes, in my defense, I laugh until I cry.

Stuff happens.

Anyone else remember the woman milled in Florida about 15 years ago?

She was 50ish, out with her elder father in a speed boat, a ray jumped and she was hit by it. Killed her.

In Newfoundland we are sometimes fairly close to frisky humpbacks. Does give you pause to think.

To be fair, that’s pretty much unheard of.

Just a fluke.

Thank you, thank you. I’m here all night. Try the veal.
