Whale of a Time

 

When I heard a group of bored scientists were trying to communicate with whales, my first thought was, “why?” If these sea beasts wanted to talk to us, don’t you think they would’ve by now? Sadly, pathetic forms of one-way conversation are a trademark of human behavior. Given all the types of bird calls available, only parrots seem to talk back. Do we really want a Moby Dick podcast from the perspective of the leviathan himself? That’s no way to honor the memory of Herman Melville. I’d like to think actions still speak louder than whales.
