really? you've never run with the bulls? (I had to at one time in another life and generation, seeing as I was living in Oviedo for nearly a decade, and before I left, I realized I hadn't done the deed, so...)

the one after the above (the illustration) I really wanted to entitle "bass hound", but I know how some people really abhor puns.

maybe the best way to garner more "textual intellectual" responses is to add a query or a fun challenge, such as:

Quote:

Living in mountainous regions around North America, mountain goats can be found at altitudes of up to 13,000 feet, climbing cliffs all day long, in search of food. Thanks to their cloven hooves, each featuring two widely-spaced toes that provide great balance, mountain goats can challenge any seasoned climber and probably best him.

Their double-layered, thick white coats provide camouflage in snowy settings, but the altitude they can reach provides enough protection from most predators. And if they happen to run into trouble, they can jump 12 feet in one leap, and reach a safe point. Just check out the pics to get an idea of their climbing capabilities.

This is such pure insanity that I thought was a total hoax the first time I saw it, but those really are goats and they really are in trees.

The tree the goats are in is an evergreen argan tree. It is found mostly only in Morocco. The tree reaches heights of 25-30 feet, and has a knobby, twisted trunk that allows for goat climbers. The goats climb the tree because they like to eat the fruit of the tree, which is similar to an olive.

how has it taken 250+ posts to finally get a chuckle out of me? it seemed so simple, but I hadn't laughed once yet in this thread.

Thanks, BadNick. Your pictures, all three of 'em, were wholeheartedly chuckl-arious.

Diver Marco Queral high-fives a 50 ft humpback whale.

[DailyMail.]

Quote:

Try as you might, you're unlikely to get a holiday snap quite like this one. . .

In the deep blue waters of the South Pacific, cameraman Marco Queral gets up close and personal with a humpback whale.

The experienced diver even seems to be hitching a lift on the flipper of the 50ft female. Queral, 42, who has spent 17 years taking such remarkable pictures, said: 'Whales are extremely intelligent. Just like humans, they have their own mind and come with strong personalities.

'They decide whether I can take pictures of them or not. They must be in a right mood to let me get into this position.'

With a playful flick of his colossal tail Queral could be dead.

But instead this curious, intelligent humpback whale takes a shine to Queral, and the two end up drifting through the seas together.

The astonishing contact between the 50ft king of the ocean and the minuscule human was captured off Hawaii in the South Pacific last week. (August of 2009)
