Gotta love those Portuguese. Pragmatic and bizarre all at the same time.

And this thing about WHALES!

My aunt gives me this video of her trip to the Azores. The whole thing is watching a whale get slaughtered. Oh, yeah, just the kind of travel video I'd watch over and over. NOT.:bolt:

i think i remember this stuff being described in detail in moby dick, a book i had to suffer through for summer reading

I have read it, about, five times and it gets better every time.
I almost had a second ed. but it was purchased out from under me a day before I could get it.
