Those whale vowels are on my to-blog list. But for now, please remember that talking animals can be dangerous — at least, this evening:

In the news recently, a parent objected to Charlotte’s Web because it had talking animals since talking animals are unnatural. She totally ignored the story of Balaam’s ass in the Bible, in Numbers 22. Also, the parable of the king of the trees in Judges, chapter 9.

@stephen: Sounds like she would have a problem with most children's literature.
