earthfirst.com — Residents of the Faroe Islands, an autonomous province of Denmark, slaughter and eat pilot whales every year, as these photos graphically depict. The Faroese are descendents of Vikings, and pilot whales have been a central part of their diet for more than 1,000 years.

What, no waterproof chainsaws? That's what Chuck Norris would bring.

Great, now I'm not hungry. These should be used to start a new diet program.Really though, it's amazing what happens in small towns.

Hmmm. The mercury in the whales is leading to increasing amounts of mental retardation?So, maybe in 20 or 30 years everyone on the islands may be retarded, and maybe freakishly big and strong from all the high-protein whale meat. They will probably be extremely aggressive and hostile to outsiders. This is a horror movie script that writes itself!

The Faroe Islands are a bizarre place, this doesn't surprise me.
