We All Have Our .50 Barrett to Bear

Whale Wars

I've been warning people for years about whales.  They aren't our cuddly laid-back allies in the animal kingdom that Greenpeace wants you to believe.  They are out for total domination of the world's oceans.  I think we all know what happens then, those flippers start sprouting toes and before we can scream "orca" they are kicking down the doors to our homes!

From the Christian Science Monitor:

Cape Town, South Africa

A yachter in South Africa says her trip off the country's picturesque southwestern coast was wrecked by an unexpected whack from a whale.
Paloma Werner said Wednesday the whale breached just feet from their boat in Cape Town's waters on Sunday. It whacked the yacht, snapping the mast in two.

I think it's clear we need to start rooting for the Japs on Whale Wars.
