“The Kappamaki, a whaling research ship, was currently researching the question: How many whales can you catch in one week?”

“I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms.”

“A whale ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.”

“Prospective research looks forward in time to see how a group of individual change over time while retrospective research looks backward in time and attempts to reconstruct the conditions that led to the current situation.”

“[Conservation] Barring that, just yell at people randomly to stop killing whales. It could catch on. Really.("Would you like fries with that?""Shut up and stop killing whales!""Thank you. Drive through, please.")”

“I would like to apologize for the rocking of this boat, but we are currently being humped by a whale.”
