Could you eat an elephant?

I think you're underestimating the toughness of Galway meat there Muppet. She'd've been born near the River Suck, known for it's long-lasting qualities in fish caught. Maybe her time in Dublin has tendered her perhaps.

[gerry]

in answer to your question, yes i could in small bits with a good steak knife

if you think you could eat a 50ft whale you might want to head to Cork for dinner.

Sad though, poor thing, its a pity they cant roll themselves over.

Sad surely, how much would one of those bad boys weigh?

Will they blow it up?

I saw a video one time, sick sh*t, were these diners sat in  a restaurant and the waiter lifted the gold globe thing on the table and a live monkey's head was sticking up wedged in. The poor critter's eyes were flying about his head and he was shreeking but he could move as these sickos hit it on the head with wooden mallets. Then the waiter cut its skull off and they spooned out its brain onto their plates. It was like that scene in the last Hannabal Lectar films. Disgusting it was. The poor thing was terrified. Not sure where it was....       

Temps??

Indiana Jones?

Well I dont want to guess its weight but it was a reletively small one as they could grow to 26m in lenght. Was reading about Blue Whales that their tongue is 4 tonnes.

Blowing up beached whales is apparently a bad idea, it just spreads rotting flest everywhere and it just stinks best to chop it up and move it.

Why do whales die when they come out of the water? Not a riddle - genuine question.

Think it's something to do with the pressure and overheating. Or maybe that's spuds...

Don't be asking scientific questions here Hardy, don't you realise it's magic?

It's a combination of that as well as dehydration and sometimes suffocation due to the huge weight on there lungs.

[Hardy]

Thanks lads - that all makes sense.

Unless Billy,  some new age poster tells me it's bad karma for whales to leave the water.

With there being a recession and all, would it be a sin not to eat that big bugger, it's manna from heaven of sorts
