Save the birds ... no, the fish!Too many whales: A protected species of bird is devouring rare fish in the German state of Bavaria and creating a dilemma for local officials who now want federal permission to kill birds that once appeared headed for extinction.This is what Scott Adams of Dilbert wrote about whales: I predict that in the future the problem will be too many whales, not too few, thanks to genetic engineering ... I think scientists will be able to whip up any kind of whale we want in the lab and then release it in the bay, sewer, or anyplace else we think would look better with a few whales. And you won't have to make do with the boring gray and humpback whales we have now. We'll have polka-dot whales, two-headed whales, talking whales, whalephants, flying whales, you name it. I'm not saying this will be a good thing, but it will give us a whole new attitude about how many species are too many. |
