Whales in Sydney Harbour

[vat_man]

The joys of a warm salt water port! These pictures are from today's (31/7/2002) Sydney Morning Herald (local newspaper).

There Right Whales or HumpBack Whales I think

 

[risingson77]

Cool...we only have beached whales on Cape Cod.

Story.

 

[Gran Turismo7058]

thats Not good

 

[vat_man]

Well spotted, Powerman, they are indeed southern right.

 

[vat_man]

It gets better - they actually went further into the Harbour today and actually went under the Harbour Bridge. There's an exclusion zone around southern right whales (couple of hundred meters I think) so the ferry and boat traffic was right royally stuffed up!

That's quite cool. Thanks.
No whales in the Great Lakes. Probably some big bass though.

I saw that on the six o'clock news before. But I only found out about 5:30 thanks to the Champ Vat_Man

 

[vat_man]

[LEBSTA]

I used to live on the Monterey peninsula in California. At times we would get some whales migrating thru.
Cool stuff takes me back.
Not too many whales in Kansas.

No, I imagine not - lots of little dogs sucked into tornados though, right?

 

[TALONclaw]

haha Gil I also live in Kansas and vat_man we get quite a few storms popping up around here and yes lots of animals sucked up by tornados. Gil- if I may ask where abouts do you live???

That usually depends on who's telling the story.

Come to think of it, there's also a nuke plant right by the shoreline not far from here, so maybe someday...

Not lately,
But whoever thought that was a kid's story wason serious drugs
Inside of five minutes a girl and her dog get blown away,
Then another lady gets killed...by a house. (Assault with a deadly ?weapon?
Then the dead chick gets her shoes stolen by a passerby.
Then a color-changing horse carts some people off the see the witch (rampant drug use).
Then the little girl goes off to see the wizard with a lion and a tin-man and the dog, (leash laws being broken right and left)

and on and on.

Lastly, how in the world am I supposed to get the kids into the tub after some woman gets water thrown on her, causing her to melt.

And don't get me started on those damn flying monkeys.

*looks away sheepishly*

About four block from Kansas State Pen in Lansing, and 7 miles from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth.

And no, I'm not out on work release.

Nice pick up on the reference.

I never thought of the consequences of that story for parents - not having any myself I guess I lack perspective.

I liked the monkeys - although the Simpsons parody with Burns was better.

I was actually being sarcastic/comedic, a little bit. When I do that bit as an informal stand up it has them rofl.

I also have very funny stories about being a pizza delivery guy.

As a teaser? What is it that causes people to order pizza, then come to the door in their skivvies?
I've been trying to figure it out for years. This world is full of "interesting" people.
In my professional life, as a nurse, we describe them as pleasantly confused.

I used to deliver pizzas - I was saving for something, and ran deliveries for about six months. It wasn't a bad gig, apart from Fridays until 1 am. Like you I've seen some very strange things - the highlight was the local hotel where the middle aged menwould answer the door, with some over-made up and dressed up pretty young thing lying on bed watching TV - guess the wallet was copping two hits that night, huh?

One night I had to take a hotel delivery back to the store. The girl who ordered it was in the process of being arrested. One of the cops says to me "partner, she may be hungry but she's gonna need all her money for bail". and sent me on my merry way.
No tip out of that one.
