Finagle: Holy crap, you’re right! I’ve been to Mystic many times. I’ve seen all their whale-killing paraphenalia. Those whales are so gonna get their revenge.
Eve: I was so happy the last time I went to the Museum of Natural History and that room with the big whale was closed. I otherwise love that museum. The last time I was in that room, I was doing well avoiding looking up at the big whale, and I was looking at an interesting diarama of a squid. I said to my friend Alex, “Hey, that’s a funny looking submarine that squid’s attached to.” And he said, “That’s not a submarine, that’s a whale.” Suddenly, I realised that the eye of the fake whale was looking at me and I ran away screaming. I really shouldn’t be allowed out in public.
I’m with you Faerie Nuff, I’m afraid of whales as well. Especially Right Whales, those things are just freaky looking. I have no idea why, I don’t live near the sea, and I will never likely be in any situation where I will have to see a right whale…but still…shudder.
As long as we’re telling about how nuts we are…
Put me in a building with ANY large item, and I go insane.
I went to a museum that had a large whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling. Went…absolutely…crazy.
Sweating like a looney. Looking at the floor to avoid staring at the thing.
It isn’t whales. Just any large object inside.
Anyone else like this?

I have channeled Dr. Freud, and he says that it comes from a fear of pregnancy, which implies loss of youth and therefore fear of old age and death. How do you feel about cigars?
