    Melville spent an an entire chapter of Moby Dick arguing that the whale was a fish.

    If I were there, I'd argue that literature trumps taxonomy.

    Funny how government agencies overreach on grasping authority....unless it means they must pay $$$ or give services...
    Wife keeps on saying we should move to Canada to be closer to the relatives and in a less messy political climate..... Hm...maybe Australia is an option....lol...as in "other side of the planet".....

    I dated a few of those in college (before they became carcasses. I never got into the necrophilia thing much.).

    I begged the Fisheries Department to take a few of them away as a personal favor (and public service), but they used that same lame old mammals excuse on me too, that and a suggestion to maybe remove my beer goggles. You'd think they'd come up with something better, having 20 years to think about it.
