You know what this sounds like most?

You really shouldn't click this link, it'll annoy the hell out of you. But it really does sound like it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrmPehlHK3w)

Which is funny, because I would have expected a young Beluga to sound like Raffi, he's the one who sings about them.

The cetaceans and the parrots are essentially the Cultists of The Dark Gods, mouthing noises their vocal cords were never intended to make in the hopes of avoiding punishment or death and receiving reward, not understanding what they are saying or what's really happening.

Am I the only one who thinks this thing should be killed with fire? Lots, and lots of fire.

It does sound remarkably like the nonsense noises my roommate sometimes makes.

The thing that really worries me is that the first species which has learned to speak a human language on its own, and what does it have to say to us? Well, if that diver is to be believed...

"Get out."

"Media Request Failed"

One day I'm going to actually be able to view streaming content from the BBC's ****ty webservers, but that day does not appear to be today.

EDIT:  Time's website works.  http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/10/24/beluga-whale-mimics-human-sounds/  It also points out that this whale died in 1999.

Probably because he tried to swallow a kazoo and it got lodged in his larynx.
