What in the fuck is wrong with you people. What the fuck. Your joking about someone who was killed, this was a thread to mourn there death and there scientific acheivments, not to make stupid fucking comments. Do me a favor, stay out of the thread if your going to follow the lead of Spider and Bugger. k thx :mad: </end rant>

Sorry squeeks I just find it weak that someone got killed by a small animal that a child could get rid of with a small stick :ugh:

Actually it was a chick, so it's not really that funny. If a dude got drug under by a seal, then we could break out some queer jokes.

The moral of the story is if you're out in the wilderness, carry a heater or a knife. That's a shitty way to die in the arctic.

Nope, that's how big they get. Apparently there's this thing called google, and you can use it to "learn" things. I'm going to research this more, and I'll let you know if this whole "learning" thing is all it's cracked up to be.

working with wild critters is dangerous work no matter what it is you study.

swimming around in antarctic waters just adds to it.


sucks she died.
great she died doing what she loved.
truth be told, the seal may have seen her as another seal and either been challenging her or (no Im not trying to be funny) trying to mate.


tragic
and yet, still comiccally ironic that someone who obviously wanted to help the marine life, succumbs to one.

life is truly stranger than fiction

I orginally thought it was a guy killed by a cute little pup, not a girl killed by a big ass predator. But really, the seal probably mistook her for a penguin. Seals hunt penguins actively.
