The world’s largest organism - Alex Rosenthal

StukaFox says...

Probably Right Whales. They have enormous testes because their reproductive strategy is to flood the sperm out of the female that another male might have deposited. I think they have the largest 'balls', both in physical size and in ratio of weight:body mass, of any mammal in the world.

That brings up an interesting question though: largest orgasm by mass, or volume? Inquiring organisms want to know.

Possibly the Sperm Whale? /s

I would ask that question on Reddit /askscience. but I might get banned.

Feeding Humback whale gets a mouth full of kayakers

Digitalfiend says...

I am impressed that there wasn't a woman getting hysterical and screaming/crying throughout the video when this happened. Everyone seemed to remain rather calm. The woman that actually got collected by the whale seemed to handle it like a boss too!

Killer Whales Charge Blue Whale (Rare Drone Footage)

But.....Bruhathkayosaurus might have been between 40–44 m (131–144 ft) in length and 175–220 tonnes in weight according to some estimates.
Certain rorquals from the Pliocene possibly rivaled the size of modern blue whales.

It's worth considering there were likely many yet undiscovered large marine animals who either were Chondrichthyes (cartilagenous, no bones) or lived in deep seas where any skeletal remains are still hidden.

I never denied saying that. I'll say it again if you like.

"You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate
As reek o' th' rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air, I banish you!"
-Shakespeare

"Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run."
-Herman Melville

"That Edward shall be fearful of his life,
And then, to purge his fear, I'll be thy death.
King Henry and the prince his son are gone:
Clarence, thy turn is next, and then the rest,
Counting myself but bad till I be best."
Shakespeare

"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it."
-Herman Melville

“Destruction is a form of creation.”
-Graham Greene


I should probably thank @bobknight33 . Now I know why people cut the tongues out of some men.

No, I've got documented proof that you wrote, and I quote, "FUCK YOU".

A signal that you have accepted their anger as your own. Now you prepare to give it back to them in War Games.

The winner of a fight does not make him the best man.


The round goes to bobby.

Edit: BTW, If we have to "teach those dumb rednecks a lesson again." then I guess we didn't get to the heart of the problem the first time.
