I like this story because I've swam with dolphins before and was corralled and "saved" by one because I ventured too far away from the other human swimmers. I can only imagine how powerful this whale was.

    please send an invite to the Beluga whale to join Club Polk.

    their ultrasonic hearing may solve the cable issue......

    Yes, great story, but kind of a stupid competition to enter freezing water dive to the bottom, lay motionless, and hold your breathe as long as possible.

    Also, the site with the $1 bill engraving was cool, but isn't alteringdestroying US currency illegal?
