# my god
you've lurked for twice as long as I've existed!

*bows*

edit: woo to the pic (i hates courgettes I do, but if that's true, then it's no wonder the japanese kill them for "scientific purposes")

Re-edit: um, well, maybe you haven't lurked quite that long, sorry for getting overexcited.

but the man appears to be exceptionally dry, not a common factor amoung men 1/2 a foot from a whale.

Also, thats not a whale, its a whale shark.I think.

# good point
but it's definetly a shark.

2. Its got gills, not a blowhole.

# It's a Whale Shark

# ok then.....
gills evolved into ears.

Shown during early feotal development of people, structures similar to gills start forming on the sides of what becomes the neck, which eventrually move up and become ears.

Furthermore, the ones in gills are sensitive to vibration, and the same shape and size as the bones in the ear.

Therefore, gills are ears. Ish.

# It's a whale shark
I don't know if that means it's more shark than whale or the other way round.

Thank you for saying nice things. : )
