The first picture on that "Quit Complaining About Your Job!!" page - looking down from the antenna - makes me feel queasy just looking at the still image.
Wiki does say that all animals (except monotremes) have them, but the article talks exclusively about the human form. I suspect my comment holds true - in animals, the foreskin is the sheath.
Exactly. I think the wikipedia says "all mammals" probably in a lame, decontextualized attempt to distinguish mamallian genitalia from reptillian (etc.) cloacae. But there's a huge difference between a sheath (Brian: "How do you think I feel? Mine goes inside me when I stand up.") and a foreskin. A sheath covers the whole deal; a foreskin only covers the head. Humans evolved them probably around the time we started walking erect, so to speak.
Like, on that orca, the so-called "foreskin" is way the heck down at the body, making the photo seem rather more /dg/ than /y/.
I'm amused that there are five comments in the "is too / is not" sub-thread, and not a single person tried to defeat the uniqueness argument by - you know - giving a counter-example.
I know from personal experience that a horse does not have a "foreskin". This argument, speaking of usenet, is not about whether or not humans are the only animals to have foreskin, but whether or not a "sheath" is a "foreskin".
i met a guy who masturbated whales for a living once. it was quite the bomb for the random stranger to drop into a loud conversation about how many hands it would take....
Not to be a perv, but how many hands WOULD it take? I'm looking at that guy with the plastic bag thinking "okay, now what?"
Wasn't there a segment on the Daily Show ages ago about the guy who had to get semen samples from elephants? They said it couldn't be done manually so they showed him getting out the shoulder length glove and massaging it's prostate. Um, yeah. So that's why I'm wondering what the hell he's planning to do, because I don't think the obvious way would work.
Some cetaceans, like dolphins, have a prehensile penis. I'm very jealous and have written about what a boon a prehensile penis would be for humankind, but even I, in my insane ramblings, hadn't considered a prehensile penis of that size. That trainer better be wary. That orca could easily wrap his whalemeat around the human's leg and drag that guy to the bottom of the briny... briny pool that is.

Here's the video of which you speak. I'm not so sure I'd qualify the event as an "attack". It looks more like a vicious "approach". At any rate, the little ROV kicks out a whole lot of bukkake.

I'm sure it's porn to someone.
Maybe true, but that's no tentacle!
"...there I spied a n[-word]
with a trigger that was bigger
than an elephants probiscus
or the wanger of a whale."
- from some book i had to read in high school ;)
wait no. I'm not a moron. its a challenge.. name the source!
Steinback: Grapes Of Wrath. Moving on...
heh... guess I was wrong ;)
Killer whales are Jewish?
I'm pretty sure foreskins are an exclusively human trait.
I'm pretty sure that you are wrong in that assumption.
I'm pretty sure he's right, actually. Foreskins are the remnant of our sheaths... which we don't have anymore.
Though if you happen to know examples otherwise, I'd love to know 'em.
I'm at work, so I'm not going to go looking up links, but I'm sure wikipedia would have something.
And everything you read in Wikipedia is true!

I can't imagine why you would think that.
Absolutely not.
(and I'd know)
I'm amused that there are five comments in the "is too / is not" sub-thread, and not a single person tried to defeat the uniqueness argument by - you know - giving a counter-example.
What's that odor?
Does anyone else smell that?
I swear to God, I smell Usenet.
OK, fine. Cats, dogs, and horses all have structures analogous to the human foreskin. That counter-example enough for you?
I know from personal experience that a horse does not have a "foreskin". This argument, speaking of usenet, is not about whether or not humans are the only animals to have foreskin, but whether or not a "sheath" is a "foreskin".
IOW, STFU. HTH, HAND.
of course, it follows naturally from the assumption that mankind is set to rule all other... err.
I don't know about you, but just imagine if your piece was that big.~~Nick
you'd never have sex. except with killer whales.
Giggity giggity!
They call that "expressing" the penis. In vet hospitals we're taught how to do it so we can place a urinary catheter.
But I see no catheter, so I think the guy in the picture is just doing it for fun.
He is prepared with a plastic bag to catch any give-aways - looks professional enough to my eyes.
Am I a prude for thinking I'd really want a pair of gloves when doing that job? And a face mask. And maybe some waldos...
I'd agree, it seems like he's hiding his face so no one sees him laughing.
Hahaha, hey, there's no reason that you can't be professional and still have fun doin' it...
And it looks like he's bending over to hide the growing bulge in his wetsuit.
Well, he looks like he's examining it, you know, kind of clinically?
But then again, he might well be going for fun, there.
i met a guy who masturbated whales for a living once. it was quite the bomb for the random stranger to drop into a loud conversation about how many hands it would take....
Haha, now that's lucky guy.
He has an immediate conversation gambit at any party, for always and ever.
Not to be a perv, but how many hands WOULD it take? I'm looking at that guy with the plastic bag thinking "okay, now what?"

that's a bad way to lose an arm.
whoa. O.o

Great Googlimoogli!
Caption:
"Aww, man! Next time I'm getting my job requirements printed out ahead of time!"
Or alternately:
"Giggity! Giggity! Giggity!"
FREE WILLY!
I nearly gave my monitor, computer and keyboard a coke shower! Ghods, that horrible, but a very silly caption for the photo!
ttyl
Okay, that was awesome.
Genius.
Excellent!

How does one get a whale to do that?
Actually, I don't want to know.
Well, first you buy him dinner...
I believe it's more of an effort to get them to stop doing it after the first time.
Good point. Not the kind of crowd pleaser you want a whale to learn.

Off topic, OR IS IT?: interchangeable rectal dummies.
As they say in the rectal exam communities, "spread the love."

When I saw this it took me a minute to understand what the lump was, since for some reason I expected a dead whale to be right side up.
So do you think the whale died happy?
Not necessarily.
I <3 Wikipedia.
Two things:
First: Chuck Norris isn't hung like that whale. That whale is hung like Chuck Norris.
Second: It reminds me of Christopher Moore's Fluke, specifically a scene which I apparently had repressed fairly well until now...
supposedly there's video of an octopus attacking a mini-sub. I was too lazy to dig hard for it in the article.
