Whale Vs. Man
Moby Dick rises from the depths of hell again. And the Associated Press was kind enough to cover it:That's not all: click here for video of the attack.TOKYO - A Japanese fisherman drowned Tuesday after a whale he was trying to rescue capsized his small fishing boat, a coast guard official said.
Three fishermen tried to rescue the sperm whale, about 30 feet long, after it strayed into a bay off the southwestern island of Shikoku, about 500 miles southwest of Tokyo.
But the panicked creature turned on them and struck the vessel, the coast guard official said.A 58-year-old fisherman drowned while two other fishermen were rescued, he added.
I wouldn't be suprised if this whale had a great white forehead, his back peppered with harpoon stubs, had a portion of his left fin missing, and swam with a slight jig.
The Three fisherman were of course the son of Starbuck, and the bastard sons of Stubb and Flask, attempting to avenge the death of their fathers.
Awesome, yes?

This is why I am all for polution and the destruction of God's creation!
We clearly do not kill enough whales to protect the poor fishermen.
I am seeing cause here for a Save-us-from-the-Whales campaign.
