      Well yes, humpback whales reach sexual maturity by around 10 years of age (some much before then it seems). A marine biologist is still practically in it’s larval form at that point.

      (Yes, yes, I know that wasn’t what you meant, but I couldn’t help myself)

      Hmmm, let’s see:

      • Can’t even spell “can” correctly. (dumb)
      • Bad attitude towards animals. (mean spirited)
      • Paid for premium. (desperate)

      Yeah, I don’t see women lining up around the block for this catch of a human being.

    “Well you asked the right guy. I’m a whale biologist. Though personally I hate whales. Especially Mushu.”

    “Then why’d you become a whale biologist?”

    “I don’t know you well enough to get into that.”

    We’re all forgetting one important factor: quality over quantity. First of all, the whale doesn’t just sit in one place to broadcast their 80km calls. We can’t really say that about a marine biologist; who more than likely is out to sea and away from anyone else using Tinder.

    I’d bet those whales are getting more action than that marine biologist, despite having a “shorter” distance on their mating calls.

    Suck on that, you stupid marine biologist and your decade of education and training.

    Fun fact: every species on earth has been evolving for the same amount of time. Assuming that life wasn’t spontaneously generated multiple times on planet Earth, which seems relatively unlikely.

    For some reason, I feel oddly defensive about the whale being insulted. Suck on that you stupid marine biologist, you should understand evolution more better.

      I mean if we assume that whales and us have been evolving for the same amount of time, it sounds like a skill issue on whales’ part
