What, you don't speak whale? - jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+58Free Willzyx, he must be returned to the moon
- jaynemother, on 10/10/2007, -4/+55I don't mean to be sappy, but we live in a beautiful world.
- Tenlow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Actually that sounds like a dying giraffe.
- Shevanel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28at first i thought it said whale on highway, made me curious on how it got there...
- seandaly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Digg should include a function in the spell check that forces the submitter to undergo a there, they're, their exam before posting.
- Miyazaki, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21Beautiful
- Sketchcast, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19I thought Orcas were delphinidae... not whales.
- TeamoSupremo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20"They must hurry, however, for wind conditions can cause the channel to freeze again, cutting off the whales' access to air."
Go Orcas Go!!! - LloydBentsen, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Quick, call the Mexican Aeronáutica y Spacia Administración!
- drimo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16I have no idea why people are digging you down. We do live in a beautiful world.
- dianebl, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14They are. But a colloquial name for Orcas is "killer whales", so most people think they're whales.
- joegibes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Lol... Down Periscope
- sgtbutterscotch, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11orcas...not whales....noooooooo!!!!!!! my world feels so strange and dark now
- jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9since when is going to where they can breathe "smart"
- mrlost117, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8boo
- LloydBentsen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9perhaps it was supposed to be, "There, just cruisin' along", but you're probably right.
- GeneralKickass, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Oh noes! We broke ur islandz!
- stevedclarke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8"The Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), less commonly, Blackfish or Seawolf, is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca - shortarabguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6We had that, it was a story on Digg. All the idiots just commented that they got 100% right and then continued to fail miserably.
- clear9, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10amazing
- McSwankypants, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I agree with you 100%.
I think this article should have been about the WHOLE Time "Life Beneath Antarctic Ice" photo essay (of which this is a part) though. I think too many people will skip over this article and miss out because all they saw was "A Whale Highway."
Shame on you, submitter. SHAME! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5it good to find some other people who also appreciate it.
- frostw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's a whaleway
- orangester, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I bet there is a slow whale in the left lane not allowing other whales to pass.
- snurfle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6I believe I dugg it then, too.
- StormTroopr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I was more curious about the rather frustrated bowl of petunias next to it.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Or the ones who took the test were the ones who didn't need it.
- KrayzieKyd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It's orca, not orcas, and they are not whales.
- wtfbrok3n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Further proof that spell check owns you.
- gotterdammerung, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4how could it not be?
(it is a picture) - t1m0j5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2who was expecting to see a picture of Rosie?
- eq2s, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Bad Borat Joke = FAIL
- jcaino, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2touche.
- HayString, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I wasn't aware that Orcas were whales.
- hammerattack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Now tell me global warming is a bad thing. (Incidentally, the same thing that gives Orcas better access to food also gives polar bears better access to food. It is a myth - neigh - a lie that polar bears hunt on the ice.)
- doctorfungi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Willy's dead, let go.
- Pinkertinkle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I wonder how they're so sure it won't freeze over and suffocate them all. Must be instinct.
- seandaly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, not a story, a forced test as part of the submitting function. If you include any of the 3 words, and short quiz (kind of like the image verifications you have to do on some sites now). If you fail, no submission or comment. :)
- MacPPC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Giraffes are mute BTW
- ummagummas08, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Isn't this old?
- blitzer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think correcting other's spelling on digg is a sign of an inferiority complex.
Does it really matter? Was it worth your time to point it out? - hammerattack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I get tired having to do the research and thinking for people like you who only "know" what they're told. Try getting off your ass and doing some real research instead of wasting my time with your petty uninformed arguments. For instance, on the polar bear issue, you could do the slightest bit of research. This would lead you to Dr Andrew Deroacher who is quite possibly the world's foremost authority on polar bears. In 2002 he published "Diet composition of polar bears in Svalbard and the western Barents Sea." In the abstract he wrote (emphasis added for weak minds that are incapable of picking out salient points):
"We estimated both the numerical and biomass
composition of the prey of polar bears (Ursus maritimus)
from 135 opportunistic observations of kills IN SVALBARD
AND THE WESTERN BARENTS SEA collected from March to
October 1984–2001. BY NUMBER, the prey composition
was dominated by ringed seals (Phoca hispida) (63%),
followed by bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) (13%),
harp seals (P. groenlandica) (8%) and unknown species
(16%). HOWEVER, WHEN KNOWN PREY WERE CONVERTED TO
BIOMASS, THE COMPOSITION WAS DOMINATED BY BEARDED
SEALS (55%), followed by ringed seals (30%) and harp
seals (15%). Results indicated that bearded seals are an
important dietary item for polar bears IN THE WESTERN
BARENTS SEA. WE BELIEVE THAT DIFFERENT PATTERNS
OF SPACE MAY RESULT IN GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION
OF DIET WITHIN THE SAME POPULATION."

To put this in perspective, it'd be like saying your primary diet is french fries because you eat sixty of them for every hamburger you eat. Also, it'd be the equivalent of saying that every human on the planet subsists on a diet of french fries and hamburgers, with an occasional granola bar thrown in. Fortunately, Deroacher actually understands English and makes it very clear that his research only applies definitively to populations in that part of the arctic by Norway. (It should be noted that there are few alternatives to seals in those areas, so naturally they'd eat seal instead of, say, caribou that don't exist there.)
Now, will you kindly stop following me around and pestering me with your banal and uniformed interjections of stupidity? I'm still waiting for you to comprehend the word "colligative". - Clixx13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Orcas are dolphins for the sake of classification.
Also, mammals. - shortarabguy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2HEY, this guy is absolutely right! Because of our global warming, these orcas are getting more time to traverse this whale highway before the water freezes over again. We're doing a SERVICE to whales everywhere by helping these ones.
- strikerK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3what? since when do whales sound like Borat?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wtb stop sign
- SeethisPass, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Uh,, cool
- KidTechno, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nature is so amazing...
