now, this prbly makes me a horrible person....

[lipstick_trash]

...but, this article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3437455.stm) <--- makes me laugh hysterically. like really, just read it, theres something so hilarious about how it's written.

"The whale attracted a lot of onlookers both before and after it exploded. "

i just can't stop laughing and i don't even know why!!!

does anybody else find this funny, or am i just a disturbing strange person? i just... oh god... it really really makes me laugh.

i'm sick. oh dear.

seriously, everytime i read it it just cracks me up. it's terrible, i'm a horrible person.

does anybody else appreciate the humour of this? i mean.. just read it!

[mr_trikkle]

*-giggles in the corner-* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Flux]

Saw this a while ago...it's amusing.

Tho not as amusing as the video I've seen of a similar incident;

They can't move the Whale carcass so they think they'll be clever. What do you think happens when you blow a whale carcass up?
Hmm...probably a good time for all those onlookers to start running! :lol:

[Sin-RazorAngel]

:?
funny how?

that the sick fucks got covered in whale flesh after deciding that they were going to take it off to dice it up to have a "look" at it?

That's quite funny,that probably made them feel quite sick...other than that...funny how?

[lipstick_trash]

well i think it's more the passive tone of the article more than anything, hehe, just the way the onlookers just commented that it smelt funny, they didnt seem bothered in the slighest, sort of "oh look... another whale seems to have exploded" it just cracked me up. yeh... yeh it's dfntly because we have sick senses of humour. hehe.

[mr_trikkle]

i see it lips:D sooo casual over such an event :roll:

[Skylizard]

Hell yeah, I think that's brilliant ( sorry Sin but someone carrying a dead animal off for research is no big deal, the things dead and would explode on the beach anyway)

[Sin-RazorAngel]

well you voice your opinion i'll voice mine.
sad you find it funny really but then other beings misery always did amuse the weak

[Rivetmike]

And the torture of popstars falls into this category? ;)

...did i hit a nerve? a deep-rooted, whale-related incident which scarred your childhood perhaps?

[mr_trikkle]

MIOWWWWWWW 8)

[Sin-RazorAngel]

No trash,no whale related incident's in my childhood.

Once you leave your childhood....oh and puberty and become an adult...therefor maybe have an opinion of your own one day,then maybe you may have room to comment about whether or not you may have "hit on a raw nerve" with someone or not eh little one? until then have fun playing with your toys.


p.s rivetmike

my post about popstars is purely fictional :roll: (........or is it,watch this space for disappearing popstars)
Therefor i am not actually finding someones misery funny am i? :wink:

Heheh OK then I can do pedantic too ;) what misery were you referrring to with regard to the whale incident?
I personally find it rather amusing (I would have found it more amusing had I not already seen it a couple of months ago but that's another story) but I would not take kindly being told what I can and cannot consider amusing after all we all have differing senses of humour.

Rivetmike

[Skylizard]

well you voice your opinion i'll voice mine.

So if the thing is dead already, and we find it funny or amusing, then the thing will still continue to suffer????

[Vampira]

SinRazor - whilst I do agree with you that it's pretty grim to find this funny, I'll say one thing to you : You can't win this one. Sick minds just can't be changed - laugh at them instead - much more amusing.

[Skylizard]

Dear Rivet....

I'm not tellin' anyone what to they should/shouldn't find funny me dear....
I was merely trying to work out what it was that WAS funny here.....
The misery i was refering to was the death itself of the whale.....
I personally find that sad.......but then....that's a whole other subject.

So to Lizard.......no "the thing" think you'll find it's actually called a whale ;) isn't suffering anymore once it's dead as it can no longer feel any pain.......nut it's not really a lughing matter that it's dead..is it?
I mean i wouldn't find it funny if one of my kittons died.
But again can i just point out that I AM NOT TELLING ANY OF YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T FIND FUNNY!!!!!

And finally yeah i guess we should laugh at sick minds ......bless them....
peer pressure must be a terrible thing

[Rivetmike]

[quote]

Unfortunately things like this happen (a little thing called nature I believe) It really is of no use getting hung up on it as it will happen to loads more defenseless little creatures (and humans too) before the day is out! Should we not make light of such situations with humour so toease our suffering? ;)

[quote]And finally yeah i guess we should laugh at sick minds ......bless them....
peer pressure must be a terrible thing

Where does peer pressure come into people sense of humour? As far as I can see the only person trying to lead people one way or the other here is yourself by telling us that finding this amusing is weak.

Rivetmike (as you can tell I'm in an argumentative mood today ;)

[Sin-RazorAngel]

Yeah humans in general are weak.........*personal opinion*

Don't even get me started on the whole *nature* thing ....ease suffering.....hmmm another thing not to get me started on.......

I'm not trying to lead anyone,if it's coming across that way then obviously i'm wording it wrong.
I'm just disgusted at humanity more and more as each day passes i guess.
Tough if people don't like my opinion.
Just as it's tough if i don't like your opinion.

Thank god or whoever for that, this way I get to read about exploding whales and laugh without been dictated to

[Sin-RazorAngel]

:evil:
That almost made me giggle lizard....don't do that again ;)

[Skylizard]

:evil:
That almost made me giggle lizard....don't do that again ;)

i wonder how many exploding whales we get on the beaches throughout the year, from beached whales?

[Sin-RazorAngel]

Now that's not funny so i shall leave you all to your sick little world where you all have no heart or soul.

[Skylizard]

Now that's not funny so i shall leave you all to your sick little world where you all have no heart or soul.

It's nature isn't it? if it was people killing them off and then they washed up I would agree with you totally, but this is natural death, no intervention from us at all and if that's how nature decays them, by getting them to explode them who are we to say it's wrong???

[Sin-RazorAngel]

I hear ya but it still makes me sad.......
i mean nature made my dog die doesn't mean it didn't make me sad..know what i mean........to me it's the same thing hun,tis all i'm trying to say.

[Skylizard]

But something close to you dying and something that you didn't even know had died are 2 different things.
Are you constantly sad and mourn animals dying all the time??? ( and no i'm not taking the piss either, for once)

[Rivetmike]

Tough if people don't like my opinion.

Amen to that :)

So Lipsick Trash can go back to finding this amusing then? ;)

Rivetmike

[Sin-RazorAngel]

To Lizard..........

To answer you question would take length discussion but i'll try to do it in short.
I find any animals death distressing.
Even more so if there's something that could've been done to prevent it.
Am i constantly sad and mourning animals death's..when they die of natural causes ........no. its nature's way.
But when they die in front of me i am sad and grieve.
Or when they are made a spectacle of i find that sad.
Why?
To me that was a being,with a life.
Does that make me sad?
Yes it does to some people,i don't really give a shit to be honest.
I am not constantly sad and mourning animals death's of natural causes,i'm sad and angry at other things to do with animals...but that's a whole other subject...lol.

Anyway's hope that's kinda covered it.

So we can go out an enjoy the weekend now as happy people??

I have a philsophical question but that can wait till monday, Sin don't read it , it's my twisted mind thinking again.

[Sin-RazorAngel]

lol.
enjoy your weekend my dear.
prolly best i don't discuss this sort of thing firther with you on the web anyhow.

:D :P

[lipstick_trash]

ok, woah woah woah woah, i seem to have begun a 3page argument which was not my intention!

:oops:

No trash,no whale related incident's in my childhood.

ahem... have you ever met me/talked to me/enquired about my age? i could 50 years old for all you know, do not make assumptions about me merely because i don't share your sense of humour. all i did was say that i found something funny, how does that justify you accusing me of having no opinoin and being 12years old? what kind of logic is that? be more open minded. you have no right to rant about me like that when you don't even know me?


AND, as i did previously say, it was more the tone of the article that made me laugh. i shouldnt have to justify this to you but i will anyway. if you didnt find it funny thats cool, we have differing senses of humour. the world shall continue to spin.

but as i mentioned above, it was pointless to make those assumptions about me, it's a bit of an over reaction don't you think?

[Skylizard]

ok, woah woah woah woah, i seem to have begun a 3page argument which was not my intention!

We all enjoy a good argument, i hope to continue this discussion Monday but whether people will reply is a different matter.

hahaha, me & sin should fight it out at slimes next week lol. *hulks up* brrriiinggggg ittt ooooonnnn! yeh... sorry i really shudnt start fights should i?

[Skylizard]

Me and Vamps still have to have it out, we can be the main fight , and you and Sin can be the warm up match for the spectators.

[lipstick_trash]

sounds like a plan haha, we could get SP or mr trikkle to referee :)

[Sin-RazorAngel]

Dearest ickle twashy....weren't you the one who replied........

"...did i hit a nerve? a deep-rooted, whale-related incident which scarred your childhood perhaps?"

now that to me was quite a childish response.

you also wrote .....
"do not make assumptions about me merely because i don't share your sense of humour"
and
"you have no right to rant about me like that when you don't even know me?"

Now if you read the first quote above that is a pretty BIG assumption right...?and indeed a rant,and er..you deffo don't know me so i suggest you learn about the word HYPOCRITE eh?
;)

As for fights......... i'm not fightin,just voicing my opinion,just as you are.
You see as ADULTS we discuss :lol:


Anyway you have your opinion.albeit sick in my eyes..and i have mine.albeit wierd in yours......end of story

p.s i'm well up for food fights..... :D

[capt_weirdbeard]

AAAARRR! I see lots of dead fish every day. Tis nothin special. Ye should see the real horrors of the sea, ye fellow man driven mad by starvation & heatstroke.
Watching ye best mate get eaten by a shark.
Watchin ye dhip sink while ye float away helpless on a raft.
Wonderrin when ye'll next see a human being.
That's somethin te feel about.

Laugh at ye whale, but don't be forgettin about us who be out on the sea.

i was _assuming_ that we didn't share the same sense of humour as we don't find the same things funny. so technically this isn't an assumpetion, as the last 2pages of this topic are proof of that point. and the childhood comment was a joke! i didn't mean you to take it that seriously [once again backing up my "hypocritical assumption"]

......

*throws jelly at sin*

lol... oh yeh, u wanna fight dirty? :twisted: haha, what an excellent chance to prove my maturity to you :roll:


*throws her drink on rivet mike so he can be involved too :D*

Anyway you have your opinion.albeit sick in my eyes..and i have mine.albeit wierd in yours......end of story

cheeky bastard :p but yes, end of story. lets never go see a comedy together ey?

[Skylizard]

Now now children , i think we have gone off the tracks here a little, so the only solution is to fight it out, personally I prefer to see lots of blood and I think Vamps does as well so our fight will still be with whatever is at hand at the time.

Lip_ and Sin I think a food fight would be a little messy and the Slimelight staff won't appreciate cleaning it up , would you to make it a mud wrestling or oil wrestling match instead, that way it's more interesting for us all to enjoy :wink:

[lipstick_trash]

lol but surely mud and oil are equally messy? we'd have to clean it up a bit before you & vamps' main event, otherwise you two would keep slipping over... you know what, that'd make it more amusing, lets do that :D

or we could just move floors.

so what's it gonna be sin, oil or mud? :p

[note this was lizards idea & therefore any comment on immaturity should be pointed firmly in his direction, hehe]

Re; the oil and mud been messy we can put you to in a kids plastic swimming pool, that way there is very little mess to be cleaned up.

WOOOHOOO mud fight....

[Skylizard]

Okay so back to the exploding whale, question?

If the whale is on the beach and it explodes, if no one is around to see it, does the whale actually explode?

[Rivetmike]

Depends on whether or not there is any physical debris left over for us to be able to ascertain what may/may not have happened.

Surely if it did explode there would be some sort of tell tale sign,maybe a whale heart in a palm tree or something like that.

Rivetmike

[lipstick_trash]

hahaha... that's so sick.. hahahahaa.

& i'd imagine a whale is the kinda physical debris it's hard to miss, they're not exactly small. if you look at the picture on the article u can actually see the hole where everything exploded from 8O

where abouts in the world do these things beach anyway? does it happen often? i'd assume that something the size of a whale would have the strength to fight the current & resist the beaching and therefore the explosion following? it's strange.

Beacsue they are so big once they beach it's almost near impossible for them or anyone else to get them back into water....that's sad watching them die.



but anyway


even if debree was scattered every where how would you know they really exploded and when they explode do they they make a loud bang or what type of sound would it be?

[mr_trikkle]

pop - splat :roll:
