Is anyone here a marine biologist?!

You're bloated, smelly, and your diet is garbage.

Was the ocean angry that day?

The English Major		2010-04-20 01:11:35 PM

The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.

I came here for a Seinfeld reference, and feel very satisfied

Was the whale in question Kirstie Alley?

fishee		2010-04-20 01:13:10 PM

Sounds like the whale ate a single homeless man...

chaddsfarkprefect		2010-04-20 01:13:22 PM

Must have swallowed my luggage. Wild, wild trip.

Mr. Shabooboo		2010-04-20 01:14:32 PM

Sounds like it ate a doctor..

samardzic77		2010-04-20 01:15:09 PM

A hole in one, huh?

Ikahoshi		2010-04-20 01:15:20 PM

Sounds like MacGuyver was living inside him for a few days before he figured he could distill a laxative with the can of coke, squid ink and emergency flares, and make his escape.

The English Major		2010-04-20 01:15:59 PM

So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment...I was a marine biologist!

Howie Spankowitz: Is anyone here a marine biologist?!

Good work, I knew I could count on Farkers to deliver!

the_chief		2010-04-20 01:17:25 PM

I'm just a regular biologist.

GoodOmens		2010-04-20 01:18:20 PM

A fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with those items.

Came for this; leaving happy.

Dr.Zom		2010-04-20 01:22:45 PM

Duct tape? Surgical gloves? Sounds like the whale swallowed a serial killer.

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.

Epiphany		2010-04-20 01:25:13 PM

Did they find the repeat?

freewill		2010-04-20 01:27:23 PM

I think it's obvious what happened here, and my condolences go out to the family.

Hyaku-Shiki		2010-04-20 01:45:51 PM

This proves that Jonah lived in the whale for 3 days. Hallelujah!

Munks		2010-04-20 01:46:23 PM

Okay, now that the Seinfeld references are over with, let's talk about the climate! I personally don't believe that humans have any impact.

dready zim		2010-04-20 01:50:32 PM

Did the small towels say "Guinness" on them?

Were they blue Nike sweats with a Penn State logo?

"Scientists find a pair of sweat pants, a golf ball, more than 20 plastic bags, small towels, duct tape and surgical gloves inside the body of a whale that washed up on the beach. With an unhealthy diet like that, no wonder it died "

Those aren't sweat pants. They're Kerai-Pantsu. The next hot thing.

/obscure?

dbrikhs		2010-04-20 02:23:43 PM

Seinfeild references + fishee: Sounds like the whale ate a single homeless man... = total satisfaction

This was so full of WIN

Must have come up through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Ok, so the surgeon kept his gloves on while playing golf. He was wearing sweat pants. Someone taped his hands and feet together with duct tape and fed him to the shark. But why the towels and the plastic bags?

It's a mystery.

hogans		2010-04-20 02:26:52 PM

The scientists say most of the whale's stomach contents was algae - typical of the bottom-feeding mammals.

Well, that explains the sweat pants.

Kirstie Alley: the choice of the fat-chick-joke connoisseur.

Disguised as a whale. The plot thickens.

Marina animals chocking (well, starving actually as the plastic fills their poor tummies so no food gets in) on plastic is a huge problem. Hey humans, QUIT BEING SO SELFISH!
