Nature Releases New Model of Whale

Posted by michael on from the tastes-like-chicken dept.

Chromodromic writes "Yahoo! is running a story about Japanese scientists who say they have identified a new species of whale. The animal is a type of baleen, the family of whales that strain tiny plankton and other food from seawater. Apparently the discovery was made through the DNA analysis of nine already dead specimens. Expected follow-up: 'Japanese scientists announce extinction of newly discovered whale.'"

    I think Tony Blair should be our next president. That guy rocks.

    Such perfect diction, such empassioned speeches... plus, he likes the U.S. and is one of the Brits damn smart enough to realize that allies are allies and enemies are enemies, no matter what.

    I wish I was Tony Blair.
