    People Got a Lot of Nerve-Neko Case

    An elephant never forgets
    Standing in the concrete cave
    Swaying side and?
    They walked over the ocean
    And thier dreams they dreamed awake
    Until the lights grew dim
    'Till the cop cars came
    Everyone says I'm crazy yes I know

    But I'm a man man man man man man man eater
    But still your surprised prised prised when I eat ya

    You know they call them killer whales
    But you seem suprised
    When it pinned you down to the bottom of the tank
    Where you can't turn around
    It took half your leg and both your lungs
    And I craved I ate hearts of sharks

    But I'm a man man man man man man man eater
    But still your surprised prised prised when I eat ya X2

    It will end again in moonlit song

    Gee you think? I rather enjoy when we make small attempts to control nature and animals and it blows up in our face... we call them accidents, but in actuality they're righting the wrongs of our ways.

    Isn't this the 2nd or 3rd person that whale has killed? I guess there's not much they can do with it, though. I don't think releasing them back in the wild isn't an option.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Seriously? If this is true, Sea World is retarded for keeping people around the whale.

    I am pretty sure that this is the first recorded instance of a whale actually attacking someone, seemingly with intent to harm. Other cases have been accidents, in which people swimming with dolphins or whales get injured by a non-aggressive animal. I could be wrong.

    Well Jack said it best:

    I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.

    But I guess they do fight back.

    that's just plain crazy, assuming that's true.

    where is tybird with his factoids about killer whales!? harrumph!!!

    the killer whale is not actually a whale, it's in the dolphin family and is 1 of the smartest animals.

    i saw something on national geographic about 1 that comes back year after year to eat young seals and shoots himself on the beach at amazing speed, grabbing 1 and flopping himself back into the water. he would make test runs just skimming the edge for a while to get a feel for everything but when he struck it was really an explosive rate of speed.

    Craziness ... Killer whale indeed. If this is true, why not treat this animal like a tiger or a grizzly, and you know, NOT give it an opportunity to munch on people. Holy shit. This whale ain't good material for a public show, clearly.
