You can make humans look brilliant as hell or dumb as shit depending on how small a scope you want to portray.

That's because humans are INTELLIGENT herd animals, capable of overcoming the herd instinct. Even intelligent people can be swept up in the moment, and forget to think.

I hate to say it, Trip, but the "small scope" are really the intelligent ones. Very few are "rocket surgeons".

The vast majority? No better than sheep. Arguably worse, because they often compound stupidity with belligerence...

Besides, whales do "stampede", they run like hell when the whaling ships come... Panic is a possible reaction regardless of species or intelligence level. Besides, a lot of you are trying to make judgments about "whales" using information about Orca, Dolphins, etc. Where's all this information that proves that a blue whale is anything more than a huge water cow...

Reading this from you makes me think of that word you always toss around....what was it again?

Oh...yeah....IRONY.

I have a girl that comes in on Thursdays to do my irony.

How much of this show is actually real, and not staged? I'm sorry but there aren't any reality TV shows I trust anymore.

Look at the brain masses.

[Trip]

Fuckers, quit fucking up the whale wars thread. You are ruining the great TV moments this show is producing.

Ah, ah, ah...look at the wrinkles in the brain. A cow has a rather large brain, an elephant has a very large brain... comparatively, a chimp has a small brain. Is it your claim that a whale is smarter than a chimp? Brain size is not necessarily the only determining factor for intelligence. I'm guessing that you know that though...
