If all mammals have hair, and whales are mammals...
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 02:23 AM by Guy Fawkes
do whales shave? I've never seen a whale with a beard. :silly:

on edit: This is a silly post, based on the Dilbert strip about the same thing. It can be found in "Shave the Whales."

1. All mammals have MAMMAE, silly...................
not necessarily hair/fur. The criterion is mammary glands, not insulation type.

3. Baleen is a keratin substance
and forms the filters thru which plankton-feeding whales expell water through to get a mouthful of chow. Keratin is also what our nails and hair are made of.

7. "My wife bought some hair at a fair to use as a spare.......
did i care? Au Contraire! Spare hair is fair. In fact, hair can be rare. Fred Astaire got no hair. Nor does a pear. And where is the hair on a chair? or a chocolate eclair? No where, mon frer!

I will now declare an end to this affair of the hair and repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?"
