where's my chainsaw?

hello kids, I'm back. I am still angry, but i have calmed down enough to resume writing nonsense. So, away we go. about two weeks ago, yahoo news had an article about a whale that had been killed. It seems that when they were cutting it up with a chainsaw, they found the remains of an old projectile used to "hunt" whales. well, being the fine citizens that they are, the good kind whalers took the bits to be analyzed. it turns out that the pieces match what was used to kill whales in 1879. yes that's right, the whale was at least one hundred and thirty years old when the good kind whalers decided to slay it. what does it say about the human race, that we are still slaughtering 130 year old critters when we don't really need to? i can only hope that these fine examples of humanity are cutting down giant sequoias to make their harpoons.
