Yoshirap Word of the Day

Sooterkin: A sooterkin is a fabled small creature about the size of a mouse that certain women were believed to have been capable of giving birth to. The origin of this initially jocular fantasy lies in the 18th century, and came to be considered factual by some eminent physicians of the day. It is attributed to a tendency of Dutch women to use stoves under their petticoats to keep warm, hence causing the breeding of these small animals, which when mature would be born.

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.
