Omg....you moron, it doesn't have horns. It has two fins, one on it's back and one on it's side. This has been discussed so many times it's getting to the point of ridiculousness. Did you bother to click on any of the links that euchre provided???

First off everyone needs to keep their cool we are all on the same team here. Also open discussions are a good thing and people with desenting ideas should not be ridiculed.

Ok there is this principle called Ockham's Razor. I will make no Judgement here but provide both arguments as best I can and let you all test vs Ockham's Razor.

We all know what MGP looks like and what sperm whales look like, likewise I would assume that we all know what a bite looks like.

Now with those three things in mind which of the following 2 theories is most probable:

1) image is of a dead MGP
Flaws with this arguement - What would be big enough to take a bite out of MGP - What part of MGP has horns - What part of the picture resembles MGP? - If image is of MGP and a whale that it was eating then why would MGP stop to eat while getting fried?

2) images is of a partial eaten sperm whale
Flaws with this arguement - image of whale does not fit normal biology for species (horns) - Sperm whales are not common on eastern seashores

Might I also point out that the provided whale diagram did not include a sperm whale which is the main species of whale we are discussing.

(I really did try playing devils advocate here but could not come up with any other arguments against the whale theory if anyone has any please feel free to post them)

we all (save for some) fully agree that there's no dumbfoundery here. unless you're actually, literally being a dumbass.

it's not clover in the pictures. it's dead sea life.

capecod, i understand your profession, and i don't challenge you on that. BUT, we did find an actual picture to basically PROVE that it's a sperm whale in the 1-18-08.com image. so that's pretty said and done.

there are no horns. a tapered-limb viewed at the right angle can look horn-like. but there are no horns in the picture.

just becos abrams recently said "yes, he's dead", doesn't mean that the things we've poured on for months need to be re-evaluated just for the sake of a statement. i completely respect your opinion, but based on the research that's already been done, i have to respectfully say that the image is not a dead monster. it is a dead whale, and some other dead whale.

the image was most likely meant to evoke more "what in the hell?!" speculation... becos, what on earth could bite a chunk out of a whale?

why, a 350ft monster, of course. as said, we respect your opinion, but what is known as fact, is that the image is that of attacked, known sea life. known as fact, becos a nearly identical photo of the dead whale (to the left of 1-18-08 image) was found. and there's no horns. there's fins.

we all respect your profession, but i think you ought think in terms of ANGLES, not animals. this thread has already been linked to before, but i will link directly to the image, so we can end this once and for all.

*in reference to the pictures below* can't really argue with this once you see it. to the far left, you see a dead sperm whale. which looks exactly like the actual beached whale image below the 1-18-08 photo. open mouth, fin, and all. to the far right, you see another whale (species unknown) with a large mass of flesh peeled away, exposing the ribs. the "horn" you see is in fact, a limp fin, or in looking at the perspective of the photo, possibly the end of a limp tail. i'm not talking shit to you at all, but i am NOT a whale expert, and even i can see that. first rule of the ARG: see the obvious.

Unless you happen to work on a whaling vessel, I doubt your experience with whales is one of seeing a shredded carcass as the creature on the right is. As the comparative images show, that's the sperm whale's upturned fin, not a 'horn'. That may be in an odd and apparently unnatural position, but who knows why the image was rendered that way - it is obviously Photoshopped to make it appear as it does. I really don't think they went out and killed a sperm whale and found a way to take a big bite out of it to get the pic. I do have to say that your biologist friends must not be able to see the forest for the trees - considering the untrained eyes here managed to find the whale image through simple human image comparison, and found nearly the exact same image which undoubtedly shows a whale in the same position. Don't suppose you'd want to take those two images back to them and get a nice reaction on video, eh?

This is Hollywood fiction, so I'm not surprised if they just took a whale image and used it without considering that sperm whales might be rare to nonexistent in the Atlantic...
Then again, we never were told where those images were taken.

The picture of the slug is creepy...

That being said, here's a thought:

Ok, yea, Clover is dead. But his sister, Shamrock, is attacking Australia, and SHE's still alive. (If those rather crummy Aussie films could be taken as IG).

Two words:

It is not appropriate to be abusive, whether you are an old player dealing with a new and clearly inexperienced one, or if you are new and are not used to being trouted to inform you of the past body of work.

Cool it, now.
