“Whales cannot breathe through through their mouths (like people can). Their trachea (the tube to the lungs) and esophagus (the tube to the stomach) are not connected.”

-I did not know that, until today.
Unless they become expert belchers, whales would have to talk through their blowholes.

I assumed this was a follow-up to the ‘personal ad cliché’: no head games’ thread.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to stick a plastic bag over the horse’s head? Or would the horse rebel?
