Whale Wars Gets "Real"

"A conservation group's boat had its bow sheared off and was in danger of sinking as it took on water Wednesday after it was struck by a Japanese whaling ship in the frigid waters of Antarctica, the group said.

The boat's six crew members were safely transferred to another of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's vessels, the newly commissioned Bob Barker. The boat is named for the American game show host who donated $5 million to buy it.

The clash was the most serious in the past several years, during which the Sea Shepherd has sent vessels into far-southern waters to try to harass the Japanese fleet into ceasing its annual whale hunt (FoxNews)."

You know what? Good.

Listen, I am not for killing whales or anything, but these guys take it too far. A couple years ago their captain faked getting shot by the Japanese, and after seeing that in a weird way I root for the Japan. If I was working on that boat, and some hippies threw stink bombs and acid that makes the deck slippery, I would be the first one to take a shot at one of them.

Anyways, everyone seems to be fine, and this will just make the hippies message even stronger (bet this episode gets a shit load of views).

Giant Jellyfish Sinks Japanese Fishing Boat

"Pink, slimy and repellent, the Nomura’s jellyfish is an authentic horror of the deep that's been assaulting Japan. Now the creatures have sunk a 10-ton fishing trawler. The boat was capsized off Chiba in Japan, as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing dozens of huge Nomura's jellyfish. Four years after they last reared their slimy heads, and for reasons that remain mysterious, an armada of the gelatinous giants has gathered in the Yellow Sea off China and the Korean peninsula.

Now it has drifted into the Sea of Japan, and brought down the Diasan Shinsho-maru. One of the largest jellyfish in the world, the Nomura's jellyfish can grow up to 6 feet in diameter and weigh as much as 400 pounds. The Telegraph reports that the boat's crew was thrown into the sea, but the three men were rescued by another trawler. The local Coast Guard office reported that the weather was clear and the sea was calm at the time of the accident (FoxNews)."

I hate Jellyfish so much, they serve no purpose, and just ruin everything. Too bad it's not like SpongeBob where we could at least he jelly from them. At least then they would do something other then being disgusting and stinging people.

I couldn't imagine a 400 pound Jellyfish, but with all the climate change it sounds like we are going to see more and more, bigger and bigger jellyfish.

This Guy Is Just Dumb

Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive boats...

Why Not?

Fisherman Catches Missle

"Florida authorities say a commercial fisherman reeled in a live missile in the Gulf of Mexico and kept it on his boat for 10 days. Police say the boat's captain, Rodney Soloman, hooked the air-to-air guided missile 50 miles off the coast of Panama City. The Air Force and Navy use the area for weapons training (FoxNews)."

Obviously not the smartest man in the world. It goes on to say that the guy knew what it was, but didn't call the bomb squad for 10 day, instead deciding to leave it on his boat. The bomb squad said the missile was very corroded from floating in saltwater for a long time. They said it was live and in a very unstable state. Would have been a nice surprise if this guy hit a wave and his entire boat blew up....idiot.

That's what should have happened...

Why Not?

I don't know about you, but I want to do this...
