“Divers ‘soaked in faeces’ in whale ‘poonado’”
Story from BBC
Hey, it was a sperm whale, it could have been a hole lot worse.
Who else thought this would be the next SyFy movie?
I assumed it was what happens when a twister hits the Red Light District.
Hole? :dubious:
And nah, I don’t think a spermnado would be as bad as a poonado. I’ve read whale breath is pretty nasty, too.
Poonado, noun: a shitstorm.
I also use this defense mechanism.
I tried, but(t) couldn’t get the correct spin. The best I can do is straight line poo, which does not sound nearly as cool.
The training to perfect the spinning technique involves a electric whisk on ever increasing speed levels. It’s not for everyone.
And besides, you have to pay extra for the anal spin, a LOT extra!
Kinda like a shape charge? Sounds mighty effective.
That’s kind of where my mind went. Instead of Poo-nado My brain parsed it as Poon-ado, like El Dorado, the lost city of poon.
SyFy After Hours.
Oddly enough, one of Cecil’s earliest columnswas about whale shit.
I have a 6 month old. I assumed it was about babies. Because, you know, anything could be in that diaper. Eventually you open it like it might be the Ark of the Covenant.
I’ve opened many diapers. Never found one full of sand.
That column is now in need of update. It states that whale shit “has little substance and no depth.” The diver reports that the poonado, at its full extent, was about 30-40 meters in diameter. Taking the surface as one bound, and noting the diver’s comment that sperm whales typically evacuate at the surface before a dive, that seems to indicate that whale shit is, in fact, about 30-40 meters deep.
I imagine the diver would also have a firm opinion about the substance involved.
I’m not sure if this beats surfacing next to the dive boat and finding out that someone didn’t follow the instructions of not using the toilet at the dive sites, the one that discharged next to the climb ladder.
Unfortunately my suggestion of going 18th century on the perpetrator and making him walk the plank didn’t pass.
I say poonaydo, you say poonahdo.
Holy crap! (literally)
That would be the best defense mechanism ever. I’d be in the shower for a week after that photo shoot.
