If you listen carefully you can hear him saying "guys, I'm not joking, I feel really bad".

I listened and I swear it said "So long and thanks for all the fish". Time to find your towel.

Well a "White whale" is more a porpoise than a "whale" and the intelligence level of the smnaller detaceans has always been kn owb to be relatibely high compared to he larger ones. That said even a parrot will make unmistakable "human sounds".

Yeah, but it's novel nonetheless.

It will be great when whales start b****ing us out for taking too many fish and demanding better enclosures, temperature adjustments in captivity.
