Scientists claim they've had a 20 minute conversation with a WHALE - and say it could pave the way for conversations with aliens someday

Uh… what did the cat say?

[VTenigma]

Did the whales tell them to “knock it off with the offshore wind power”?

[rlmorel]

Apparently a true story, too! Though one never knows...:)

[USAF1985]

20 minutes of “Can I speak to your manager?”

[dblshot]

That happened to me once, but then I was drunk and she was on the next stool(s).

[hinckley buzzard]

Sounds like an excerpt from a long-lost Michael Crichton novel.

[sheik yerbouty]

Couldn’t they just call Christie Kreme?

“there most certainly are aliens”

Most live in Washington DC or Northern Virginia.

The density gets greater and greater in inverse proportion to distance from the white house.

Give the whale $5,000 + free phone + lodging + 3 squares a day. Then, let’s see what happens. ;-)

[ifinnegan]

Yeah.

They’re working with Matthew Perry.

I saw this movie, Spock did a mind meld with a whale in the 1980’s to save the future. They built transparent aluminum and visited the USS Enterprise (CVN-65).

They transported two whales aboard a stolen Klingon Bird Of Prey, and did a sling shot around the sun to get back to their future time to stave off an alien attack.

Greg Gutfeld will use this headline and then post a picture of the cast of “The View”.....

You’re probably right! I can see it happening!

[Blue Collar Christian]

It might have been rhetoric.

[daniel1212]

A conversation will take place if we can actually exchange information with a whale. Emitting noises that animals respond to with unintelligible noises of their own does not count as a conversation. We know whales are very intelligent, and I'm sure some form of conversation may be possible some day, but this isn't it.

Indeed! Goes along with hype about planets in the "habitable zone."

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You whistled at a whale.

The whale was actually telling you that you smell and your mother dresses you funny.

[SunkenCiv]

Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.

[Oil Object Insp]

Have you seen and heard the dogs that communicate by using prerecorded word buttons?

They have keyboards of pushbuttons laid out on the floor. Step on them in a series to build sentences. Dog can do the same.

Presto... Dogs can now communicate with canned speech.

[woodbutcher1963]

No I have not.
However, I have Beagles and Chihuahuas.
They’re not that smart.

Maybe something a Border Collie or a Doberman could do.
