Well, it wasn’t really sushi, it was a whale and the diver didn’t really get swallowed but it was probably because the diver hadn’t been marinated and didn’t taste that great. Rainier Schimph, a diver leading a tour to see the sardine migration in South Africa, was grabbed by a whale and then released or “spit out” as one commentator and the diver noted. I was curious and found several such incidents on line but this one was just a day or so ago and it was fairly well filmed.
I know you were being facetious but let me just add that I happened to see that, too, but on TV. What I found interesting was that that version included a specialist who said that human beings could not be swallowed by that kind of whale anyway because their esophagus was not wide enough. So the creature didn't want to do itself any harm and the diver was never in real danger if you want to put it that way. Wouldn't have wanted to be in his shoes, though.
Yeah, I know. Even the Biblical story of Jonah is in question but in truth the translation says “a large fish” not a whale. It could have been a sperm whale but the more contemporary thought is that a Jewfish or a Goliath grouper could have been the culprit. YouTube wasn’t around a few thousand years ago so documentation is a little sketchy. . Either way, if the incident happened to me, there would have been a LOT more than sweat to clean out of my wetsuit after the ordeal.
Ha ha - knowing me I would do that - I love animals ! But - I wouldn't tickle a Croc or Gator No way !
It is said the alligators love to have their belly rubbed but I am not really sure if that means from the inside or the outside.
Well I ain't gonna find out that's for sure I wonder about Gators and Crocs, seen them many times (on TV) and I just can't take to them - why are they here Bobby ……. They don't sing or dance (like birdies) they're certainly not huggable - they don't smile nor laugh No - I see no point to them at all
I am not in the least bit afraid of heights, but the bungee thing just hasn’t caught my interest yet. Maybe when I turn 90 or so.
Although it is a Louisiana specialty in the U.S., when we had the restaurant in N. Idaho I would often have alligator tail or jowl meat on special and we would sell out every time. Treated properly, a nice little steak from the tail meat is as tender and sweet as filet mignon. Good stuff.....
