When I first saw the pic I thought it was a ride or a fake dragon one, would've been nice if I was right. I know your 'puter won't let you link so here is one for all the people who want to be lazy: Blue Whale Beached -- Flipper to be Amputated Subject: Re: Blue whale killed by ship collision. From: Mutant posted Wed, Oct 28 2009, 9:42pm  yeah. my computer doesnt have that function even though it is a moderately new model. I wish it was something else as well and yeah this definetly will increase our knowledge, but it would have been better if it were still alive and full grown so we could have observed it.

Over the years, i have donated thousands of dollars (not hyperbole) to whale conservation efforts with NRDC (oh, and if you can, please please PLEASE donate to them. They are a great organization). To see this happen just makes me wanna cry. *sob* Subject: Re: Blue whale killed by ship collision.
